    No greater man have I known than JD “Pop” Collins. I will miss him. He was very special to me and always there to help me when I needed him. Love you always.

    Maxine, so sorry to read of JD’s passing. My thoughts are with you, even though I am not able to be. Our families have known each other for many years, and I’m proud to say..no better neighbors have I ever known. JD will be missed by all who knew him, but remembered by everyone.

    Maxine,

    My condolences to you and your family. I vividly recall JD from my days at Howell Valley (then R-1). We had some spirited softball games and JD sent me scrambling deep in the outfield with his powerful swings. He was a Howell Valley icon who will be missed.

    Maxine, as I read, on the Zizzer line, of J.D.’s passing, I grieve with you and your family. I know there is a big hole in your heart which will never be filled, but how fortunate you are to have had such a long happy marriage. I haven’t seen J. D. for many years but I have memories of him being such a “gentleman” and loving family man. May God bless and comfort you and your family.

    Maxine and family – Mom told me this morning of JD’s passing – he will be missed by many. I have such fond memories of him driving the bus for Howell Valley…he became such a big part of all of our lives – picking us up and dropping us back off every day. What patience he must have had!

    I received a Zizzer message about J.D. I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember the two of you when you were dating and coming to church together. And, I sang at your wedding. Maxine, I know this has to be hard for you, but be comforted knowing that he is asleep in Jesus. You have my condolences. Jan McBride Hamman

    Maxine…So sorry to hear of JD’s passing. I know your will miss him so very much. Everytime I saw him he would ask about my brother Blaine( I lost him last Oct. ). You will be in my prayers. Take comfort in your family and know that you will be reunited in Heaven.
