Harold Collins Obituary

What I have to say is straight from our hearts. Harold (Happy) was a one of a kind individual. A VERY caring,thoughtful and giving man. He and Claudia opened their home to me and my son when we had no one and nowhere to go. He loved JAMES as if he were his own son and that will never be forgotten. He taught me how to be responsible and stand on my own two feet again. HE WILL FOREVER REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS. May god bless him always. And our hearts and prayers go to Claudia always remember how much he loved you (SHORTY) you would have to be blind not to see that May God bless you ALWAYS.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief.

.To all of those people that are feeling the pain of Harry’s absence.. On behalf of my mother ,my son and myself. we offer our deepest sympathy .
I am very sorry that I missed seeing so many of the people that attended Harry's services I take this opportunity to thank everyone that sent Harry on his journey knowing he was loved .It is not up to us to decide when our time here will be done. However it is up to us to decide what we want to do with that time, and whatever that may be is what we will leave behind. Harry's time here was much to short but it was very well spent.. Harry was the last of a dying breed . He was a man of good character with old fashion values. He was honest, hard working ,fair ,determined, responsible , focused , scheduled loving ,caring ,generous , stubborn, hard headed , fearless, Proud ,and strong willed.He had something to teach us all. Harry's child like enthusiasm for life, his uncontainable energy, and his unconditional love for friends and family made all our lives a little brighter .He was never embarassed to give some one a hug or a kiss and tell them he loved them. He may have touched many hearts But this beautiful sweet, gentle man with the goofy laugh stole my heart and touched my very soul.For almost 20 years he was my constant companion, my partner in life,and he was the man I planed on growing old with . Its all about making memories ,those moments frozen in time that live in the hearts of the ones we leave behind. Harry may be gone ,but we made a lifetime of beautiful memories . Harry your soul is free to sore the heavens . God speed my love

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Harold was one of a kind. He was a good friend to many. He had a great sense of humor. And when it came to hot sauce, the hotter the better! He was always respectful to my parents and family. He was a master of the Ford I-Beam suspension. He teased me about my Cubs and Ric Flair whenever he could. He was a helluva man that lived a helluva life. I am proud to call him my friend. God bless you, Harold.

Harold was a very special person and your loss is felt by many. May memories of the good times bring happiness to your heart.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

"We miss you now, our hearts are sore" As time
goes by we'll miss you more. Laura & Joe

A good friend, and a great man. He will be missed dearly.
