Sandy and family, we are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Dave was a good friend and we will truly miss seeing him on our visits to Ludington. I remember way back when the two of you were married - such good memories.
Our thoughts and prayers are with both your families.

Sandy, it is with great sadness to hear of Dave's passing. As someone who knew him from the time we were four years old living a block apart on Emily street, I remember the fond memories of the time we hung out together until I mover from Ludington. I especially remember the many, many times we hiked out toward the state park and the sand dunes and the woods in between and the games we would dream up there. I remember the friendships with the other kids around out block and the parties we had. I want you to know that even though I have not been back much to Michigan, I feel that David was always my friend. My sister Helen always kept me informed of him and my few visits to see him when I was back there will always be remembered. Your friend always, David R. Staup
So sorry to hear of David's passing. Remember him well as I graduated in the same class in high school. He was at several of our class reunions,I think, along with you Sandy. Having a class or two with him in school, I remember Dave as very fun loving. I pray that the Lord will be with you and your family Sandy,during this difficult time and that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you all. So difficult to loose a loved one.

I was shocked to hear about the passing of David. I've had the privilege of knowing David and Sandy some 60 plus years and always considered them family. My heart goes out to Sandy and and family on their loss. My fondest memory of David was when he took my brother Bill and myself fishing with him on opening day of bass season Memorial Day weekend 1962 to Bronson and Hooker Lake near Honor, Michigan. What a great time we had!! Rest in peace dear friend. Jim Fay
The first time I met David and Sandy Collins is when I was fortunate enough to have their granddaughter Sierra in my sixth grade class at South Hamlin School. They supported every fund raiser we had for both Sierra and grandson Casey's sixth grade trips. David and Sandy were truly the "Dynamic Duo", David's can do attitude helped my class earning endeavors so very many times.. The Halloween Carnivals and the wonderful treats for bake sales that Sandy made. David and Sandy would deliver those treats with smiles and wits of wisdom. I still have the lovely treasures they made and gave to me. I am looking at my Santa and my beautifully painted Christmas bowl filled with Christmas goodies as I write this note. My goodness, Sandy and David even handled my daughter's wedding invitations. Wow, they could do most anything. Most importantly I want to say I was truly the lucking one,to come to know such a wonderful caring couple.. They were truly an institution in the eyes of many of my peers at South Hamlin. Sandy, words can not express how truly sorry I am for your loss of David. You two were a couple I greatly appreciated and admired. Thank you for allowing me into your lives for a short while..Sandy I truly want you to know that I enjoyed Sierra, Brad, Casey, and Riley as students. You and David are amazing grandparents. Sandy may God be with you, and your family. With sincerest admiration, Mary Margaret Klemm
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sandy.
Love. Jim and Dawn Williams
Sandy and family, We are so sorry for your loss and so blessed to have known Dave. Way back to Debbie's high school softball, he has always been a friendly conversation and a warm heart. I know you all will miss him greatly but have wonderful memories to cherish and share when your hearts are ready. Our prayers are with you. God bless you all.
I remember the craft fairs he was at and the crafts he made. I have a pair of skis that he had made. I'm so glad I got to see him at the ball games this summer. He will be truly missed. Hugs to my cousins.
I am so sorry to see that Dave has passed away. To all of his family, I express my sympathy and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sandy - the loss of a spouse is so very difficult, I pray for strength and comfort for you. Be very thankful that you have many special memories to hold in your heart forever. Donna (Johnson) Cinko
