My deepest sympathies go out to the Collins family. Uncle Bill will be greatly missed, but knowing he is with daddy will be somewhat comforting. My heart aches for Aunt Betty and his family.

Kathy, I am a friend of Kathleen Chyna. I wanted to reach out to you and send my condolences about your father. I unexpectedly lost my dad on NYE and when she mentioned your loss my heart went out to you. May you somehow find peace and comfort in this time.

Loveable, adored, proud father of his Clan; although I only met you twice, you brought smiles and laughter to all and made us Volmer girls feel special.
You will be truly missed.
