“In loving memory of Oliver Bud Collins, Sharing in your sorrow. With love and friendship. Bud started out with my Dad, "Van" Van Arsdale with Prudential. He was always at our house, and we loved him so. I babysat for Marc and John for years when they were babies and toddlers. The Collins Family was part of our Van family. I am happy to share with his grandchildren any great memories I have!”

“So sorry to hear of Bud's passing. We go way back to Linden on Republic Ave where he was our paperboy and then he worked w/my Dad at Prudential and I ended up buying a house right next door to him in Sharon Woods. Will always remember our fun times and partying on our boats. Bud was considered family to our family. He will be missed. Jim Van Arsdale”
