Dear Mooncotch Family,

We were saddened to hear of the passing of John. Both my father (William G. Collins) and I (Mark S. Collins) both had the pleasure of working with John and LaGrange Crane. I remember being at the Standard Oil Building painting a crane with "Bill, the Sign Painter" that was going to be on news. Also remember my wife and I running into the whole "Mooncotch Clan" in the Las Vegas airport.

Our hearts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Mark and the entire Collins Family

It was honor to know Mr. Mooncotch, I assited him in attending the WWII veteran Honor Flight. As a son of a WWII veteran and a LT classmate of Tom,Mr. Mooncotch's son, I am a better person for knowing John. Tom Brokaw stated it correctly, this was the greatest generation. Mr. Mooncotch, Semper Fi.

My deepest condolences. John was a great man and I will always remember how he helped in a difficult time. I often think of you all and the time back in the area in 1979. John was an amazing guy. God bless and hugs to you. Mike
