Travis ... Brett ... Gina & Cheryl I just found out this morning that Uncle Fred left us. Bev & Trish told me as we were taking Trish to have surgey. Even though I had not seen Uncle Fred in a very very long time I did & always will LUV him. And yes he always did LUV all of his kids & never made a difference between any of you. I know in my heart he LUVD all of his hieces & nephews also. I LUV you all even though I hardly ever get to see any of you any more. I have great memories of all my cousins & deep down have always loved you all even though growing up we were NOT taught to show our love I do LOVE each one of you. That day I seen Brett over at Cabell Hospital will always stick with me.
With LOVE & respect,
Greg

I recall the first time that I ever remember meeting Freddie. I was about 10 and my dad (David) and I were at one of the Collins reunions. Dad started talking to this guy that had a big grin on his face and was laughing. Then he called his dog over and started petting it and talking to it. I said, "Dad, there's no dog there. Does he really think he has a dog." I don't remember ever seeing Freddie when he wasn't laughing and having a good time. That's how I'll remember him.

I still remember my glass Mickey Mouse piggy bank he gave all of us kids when we were little. Fred was a good heart man, I hadn't seen him for a very long time. My thoughts and prayers are with your kids. Brett I'm sure you did everything your dad wanted, I do know what you mean by your best friend. Mom was mine and it's still hard to let go, even after 10 years. Let me know if there is anything I can do for all you kids or if you just need to talk.

This was my best friend and I will miss him more than anyone could ever imagine and hope that everyone keeps in mind what was important to my dad was his kids and he loved them more than he loved life,He was twice the man than many people gave him credit for he supported five kids and never asked for help with a disability from berth not alot of people can say that.

Mr.Collins was a good man he would ride the tta bus and joke with every one on there. telling every one about his dog sex and if you did not know him then yoiu would not know how to take the jokes but . i found enjoyment in talking o him. he was able to bring a smile to even the darkest of days. and one thing he always said that is and will forever be inspiration . is im only gonna live till i die but im gonna have a fun and enjoy life while i can. you will be missed Fred. to the family im truely sorry for your great loss. Heaven has gained an angel and the sky will be a bit brighter as we look at the stars tonight for his jokes and laughs will always be remembered
