The family of Ronald Gerard Collins regrets to announce his passing on Friday, February 28, 2014, at Cape Breton Regional Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Sydney, Ronald is the son of Leo and Louise (Kennedy) Collins.
Ron was a loving family man who enjoyed spending time with his wife, Theresa and their dog, Darby.

A regular walk to the lake for an hour with anyone who would join him was vacation time for Ron. Ron will be missed by all who knew him.
