Sue, Tim, and Kim ...
I was saddened to hear that Dave had passed, but I understand what you must have gone through the last few years. When I talked to him briefly last year I could sense something was not quite right. He was the last of the Collins generations that I grew up with. Now I'm the oldest of the current generation! I'll always remember Dave for three things: my Marlin 39A rifle (that I still use) because I had to have one just like Uncle Dave's, his Black and Red '59 Chevy convertible that I used to help him wash so he'd take me for a ride, and his roller skating. Later ...
