Ah, how very sad to hear this news. A lovely man, who always had a kind and gentle word for all who passed by his house. He will be missed.

I am sad to report that our neighbor on Randolph Place of over 15 years, Edward J. Collins, passed away today at 4:07 PM at the Veterans Hospital. He died from complications due to liver cirrhosis.

Ed was 64 years old. He grew up in Florida, joined the army at a young age, and was a security guard in his later civilian life, before retiring here. Ed was a real force and yet a sweet man, as Maxine and all of us who knew him will remember.
