    Richard was a nice young man. He will be missed by those that knew him. He was a very good ballplayer and a better friend. All of Bristol will remember him. God bless to Sandy and the family.

    I knew Richard some time ago. He was not only my boss at McCrone’s, he was a friend. Even after McCrone’s, I kept in touch with him at COA. Such a good person. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I’m so sorry for your loss!

    It was many years ago, but I remember sitting by him and his family during Lauren’s first baby shower. We laughed and talked about life as the activities were happening in the background like Cornhole competitions for example. He was very easy to talk to and had such a kind heart. I wish I was closer to him but the memories I have shared with him and his family will forever stay in my heart. My deepest condolences go out to him and his family during this very difficult time. He was a great man and I’m privileged to have known him. RIP sir

    Richard was a great friend of mine throughout school. I have fond memories during our junior high years of playing football after school on the Germantown field. It was usually Richard and I against any other two players who would show up. He designed a special play called the RCS. He would call it out loud before I would hike him the ball and it usually resulted in a touchdown. Most of our opponents thought it stood for Run, Catch Score. But it stood for the Richard Collinson Special. And special he was. He will be missed.

    Sandy – my condolences.

    Dear Sandy and family, Just learned about Richard’s passing. My sympathies to your family for your great loss. I worked with Richard at McCrone many, many years ago. He was a good person, nice to work with and quietly funny. He will be missed by all who knew him.

    Richard and I were close friends as teens (1964-1966.) As Mike McNew says Richard (who among his pals was also known as “Colly” ) was a natural athelete, untouchable in touch football. The “RCS” play worked so well, because Colly could avoid the rush and throw, while moving in miraculous ways. Richard’s finest qualities were his humility and gentleness. When you were with him, you felt he cared about you and listened to you. / T. Gordon Mays
