Uncle Reggie, as I write this my heart is breaking. I can't believe that I'll never hear you say "God bless your Irish heart" again. I have so many wonderful memories of being with you from playing cards, sharing a cup of tea, and just chatting. As a teenager, I was always amazed at, even though your eyesight wasn't very good, how you could tell who someone was. For instance, the Christmas time that a group of mummers came in and none of us were really sure who they were. But you said "I can tell by the way you're breathing that you're Williard Hatfield." You were right. I admire you for standing up for what you believed in and being the wonderful man you always were. Through all the sicknesses you have had you always put the good side out. You are finally at rest in a much better place with Aunt Chrissie and you will suffer no more. "God speed Uncle Reggie and God bless your Irish heart." Love you always, Tammy, Paul, Kelsey, Keegan, and Ethan To Roz, Noella, Anne Marie, Bun, Derek, Brian, and Dale I'm so sorry to hear about Uncle Reggie's death, but he is with your Mom now and that is where he has wanted to be since June 25, 2007. Always treasure the wonderful memories you have of them. Keep them close in your heart. Love you guys, Tammy

We are so sorry to hear of uncle Reggie's passing. I know he is happy to be back with Aunt Chris. I spent a lot of time at your house growing up and your father and mother always made me welcome. A good cup of tea and warm fire always greeted me. I know the next while will be difficult and you have not had much time since your mom passed. Be strong and remember the good times and as a family you will make it through.

Bun, Derek, Brian, Anna Marie, Roz, Noella, Dale & Families It is with great sadness that I write this message of condolence to you guys, having lost Aunt Chris just four months ago and now to lose Uncle Reg so soon after. When I was home in July I visited him at the hospital and even though he was feeling miserable he had that same great smile as soon as I spoke to him. He has faced a lot of adversity in his life but tackled it head on, there was no health problem that knocked him down for too long. I am sure there is no greater smile from him than now as he is reunited with Aunt Chris. The lovebirds are together again. I'll cherish the great memories. Know that you thought about at this sad time.

Bun, Derek, Brian, Anna Marie, Rossie, Noella, Dale, Heidi, Nena, Mom, Aunt Monica, Aunt Rita, and those who share my grief. If you only knew how many attempts I have made to type this message, not to mention the challenge of trying to maintain my composure at work since receiving the news of Reggie's passing yesterday. I, like so many others, certainly was not exempt from experiencing the 'scorching' hospitality at your house (Reggie singing out to one of yea to put another chunk of birch on the fire) as we 'sang er up' until the wea hours of the morning while Aunt Chris up to her devilish ways was sneaking a little extra drop in your 'cup' and Reggie singing out 'what are you up to now Chrissy'. Well, I guess yesterday afternoon St. Peter was greeted with 'How ya Gettin On' while Aunt Chris was right there to link Reggie into their 'heavenly home'. I could go on & on, but the more I reminisce, the more my heart is breaking by not being home. If only my feet could be where my heart and soul are right now. "Shoe Fly Pie & Apple Pan Dowdy", has to be your signature song Reggie, and like you, it will NEVER be forgotton by me, 'Monk'.

And they all come to greet me,arms reaching,smiling sweetly,as they lay me neath the green green grass of home,through my tears,I smile remembering the many times I heard that song sung by Dad.He is being met by all who have gone before him,but his joy is to be met by the love of his life and one who he grieved for for the last three months right to the day,his Chrissie,our mother, grand and great grandmother,aunt and friend.Jerome and our little Christine are there also.My dearest sisters, brothers,aunts,uncles,cousins,friends and my children Randy and Andrea,Michael and Julie,in our grief let's remember the happy times when Dad's voice in song,his stories about the gobblieginks made us all smile.We will one day hear that famous greeting again when we go to the pearly gates,St Peter's greeting will be drowned our by Dad's voice bellowing"comeaboard".The heartbreak of loosing Mom was almost unbearable and to loose Dad so soon after, there are no words to express the feelings.May the fond memories bring us smiles and help fad the sadness that we all feel.There's a gathering in heaven and you know Dad is singing his heart out,as he did so many times here on earth with us.May God bless his Irish heart.He may be gone,but the memories will live on and bring us peace as we sit,having tea and fondly wonder back to days gone by,remembering the days in Mom and Dad's kitchen when Dad would just start a song and we all joined in.Not to be forgotten the times he had our little ones so silent as they listened to the stories about the Gobbilyginks in Patterson's garden.May God bless us all and help us overcome our sadness. We love and miss you Mom and Dad.Rest in peace. Love always Bun

To the Collins family; It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of Uncle Reggie. As far back as I can remember Aunt Chris and Uncle Reggie have been the entertainment of choice by so many. The days of Aunt Chris leading him into the ditch or off the side of the step (by mistake of course!)to the bellows of Shoe Fly Pie as he bounced Ryan on his knee. As a small boy, Ryan attempted on many occasions to duplicate the rendition when we returned to Alberta. My memories of learning to skate on the "Community Rink" before heading on the SouthEast Arm are vivid. All were welcome at any time and it is hard to believe that so much has happened between then and now.. We have such great memories. They are at peace with one another now. Hopefully there is an open line show that he is keeping entertained..... Our thoughts are with you. Faron, Trudy, Ryan & Tanner

May it be consoling to know that others are thinking of you and praying with you during this difficult time. May God bless.

At this time one wonders how much sorrow and heartbreak one individual or family can endure. You have had more than your share over the past months. The many heartfelt messages here are a testament to your father's good life and the many lives that he genuinely touched and enriched. Words, however gentle, cannot take your loss away. May you have memories for comfort and supportive family and friends to ease your sadness. Hopefully, the comfort you feel knowing that your parents have been reunited will sustain you during this time of need and grant you some sense of inner peace. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

To the Collins family, Steve and I wish to express heartfelt sorrow on the passing of Uncle Reggie. Despite the brief time you have had to heal since Aunt Chris passed away we hope you find solace in knowing that your parents, who loved each other so dearly, are together once again. Uncle Reggie was a wonderful man who loved and respected his family. He displayed ongoing strength and courage through the toughest times. His ability to identify you from a simply hello when you entered the room was so amazing. He always made you feel welcome and loved to sing for anyone willing to listen - he was the life of the party. Fond memories of years gone by will be forever present. May you find comfort in knowing he is now at peace and reunited with his precious one. Bev & Steve

Dear Cousins, I viewed the pictures and it warmed my heart to see moments of Uncle Reg's life. Where he is gone , he is welcomed by many of his loved ones who have gone before. I remember the nights as a child when your mom and dad would come to our house for a game of cards. The ranting and roaring over who won, and the slamming of the cards to the table meant no sleep. Our parent's had a lot of good times together and they laughed a lot when in each other's company. I know your dad's death must be very painful but remember the good times and believe that he is in a better place Love Lucille

Heartfelt sympathy to Rose, Ray and Bill and the entire Collins family and extended families. Hearing the sad news that Reggie had died of a broken heart after losing Chrissie brought back fond memories of Reggie and Chrissie. Me recollections of Reggie go back to when he was the paper boy. He was often accompanied on the paper route by his faithful companion, Shep. His cheerfulness and enthusiasm left a lasting impression and knowing him later in life never altered that first impression. Although you grieve the loss of Reggie there is also much to celebrate in his rich and rewarding life as a father, friend, and community volunteer. May God bless all of you, and may Reggie's wonderful qualities live on in his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Noella, Roz, AnneMarie, Bunnie, Dale,and Brian; Please except my heartfelt condolences. I wish was there in person to help comfort you, but know I'm only a phone call away. I can only say, that I know the pain and heart rendering feelings of loneliness that you guys are experiencing and it would be a lie if I said that it gets better with time, but I can tell you that sticking together as a family and leaning on your friends will make it more bearable. Reggie had a lot of pain and sorrow in the past years, most especially in the past few months, but he was always lifted and comforted by his family and spoke so proudly of all of you and the mere mention of his grandkids and great grandkids brought a smile to his face that took away all his pain and loneliness...Take comfort that he is with your mom now,and will through the help of all the angels and saints protect you from above. I just finished looking at your special slide show in honor of your dad....I suggest you look at it everytime you feel sad and lonely because you can certainly see your mom and dad in the eyes of all of you, and in the grandkids... Reggie I know you are with the love of your life...probaly having a cup of tea right now....I hope those angels make it hot enough for you but Im sure if not, you wont be shy in telling them so... Farewell Reggie, until we meet again. Bill Cochrane

Today I grieve the loss of a dear and wonderful friend. I cannot believe how it has affected me just 3 months to the day of losing his loving wife. Reg & Chris were my anchor through many turbulent times in my life. They were who I ran to when others were not there. We laughed and cried together. We all had lots of ups and downs and disappointments in our lives, but that bond of friendship was our refuge for each other. We would always end up finding something to laugh about. I knew Reggie could not survive with his beloved Chis, and now I fully realize that they are gone forever and that the final link in the chain of our friendship is gone forevermore. I do get comfort from the fact that they are together again and I thank God for that. The only thing I can do now is to be here for their children and grandchildren if ever they need a shoulder or an ear to listen to them as they continue on with their lives and try to cope with this huge loss left by the passing of these two loving important people in their lives. I hope the most wonderful memories will stay with them for the rest of their lives. memories. I hope they will continue to lean on each other and that my children and theirs will hold close the bond our families shared through the years. Thank God, Reggie, you are now at peace after a lifetime of health struggles. Finally you are safe and in the best place God has to offer in heaven, and I know who is right there beside you as usual

Your store with such great candy smells, your mom piercing my ears at age 8, your brothers chasing me, my first communion dress, and your parents as such an important part of the community. It must be difficult to lose them so close together, but they are now at peace together. Enjoy your own memories of your parents.

I am sitting here in tears, a week later, trying to find the words to express how heartbroken I am. I have been trying to prepare myself for this for quite some time, but when I got the call I was floored... I still am. There have been so many health scares over the past few years that I really thought he would pull through this one too. It is so hard to comprehend. My only consolation is that he is no longer suffering and he is where he wanted to be... with Aunt Chrissie. I have so many memories of them both. Being away from home has helped me to appreciate the people I love even more. Over the years I have grown close to Uncle Reggie and I am truly grateful for every minute I spent with him. The last time I was home I tried to spend a lot of time with him because of everything he had been through. We laughed and cried together and I hope in some small way I helped make him feel better. I will never forget a man larger than life itself. I can hear him singing and laughing and that is how I will always remember him. There is so much more I could say but this screen isn't large enough to hold how much he means to me. Bunnie, Dee Dee, Brian, Ann Marie, Roz, Noella, Dale, and your families, Mike and I want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you, God Bless Aunt Chrissie and Jerome, and to Uncle Reggie, may "God Bless your Irish heart". I love you and will miss you always... Mandy

Dad, It's been over a week and I keep trying to pretend that this is all a dream and thinking if I keep busy then it will go away. Tomorrow will be my first time going home without you or Nan and I cannot believe that in one summer we gain two beautiful girls and loose two of the most important people in our life. Both of you stood by Nena and myself through the good times and bad and always had something to make the bad things go away. I am grateful to have you such a big part of my life and privileged to call you Dad. I know that some day we will meet again and hopefully you and Nan will guide us when it comes our time. I'll still call you every night to say good night and loves ya and to let you know that Glenn is ok. Heidi Ann

Dad, Noella is doing exactly what you would have done today, calling everyone and making sure they voted. I was on my way over to Brian's with left over turkey dinner from yesterday when Noella called and said she had ESP and said that you wanted her to tell all of us to vote. I left Brians at 7:30 on Topsail Road and had to stop and get Brad's supper. I called him to get my purse ready and guess what I voted only because Noella said that you called her. What was I thinking anyway it worked. She said that she was not telling me how to vote but the "PC" Party was a good candidate. Does she even know who Kathy Dunderdale is?
