Frederic "Jim" Collin, son of Corleen and Fred Collin, passed away early Tuesday morning, October 9, 2012. He was born on May 28, 1940 in Mexico, New York.

Jim loved his family, golf, all sports, traveling, playing cards with his buddies, and most of all loved life. It is safe to say, he never met a stranger. He spent his career of thirty six years traveling over the U.S. and Canada selling flat glass products, making many good friends along the way.

He is survived by his wife of forty eight and a half years, Doreen Collin, his two daughters and son-in-laws, Patti and Matt Howarth, and Kathleen and Richard Partridge. Four wonderful grandchildren, who brought him much joy, Collin and Conner Partridge, and Zachary and Julie Ann Howarth. His brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Bob and Natalie Coleman, nieces and nephews, Bob and Rosemary Coleman, Scott and Lisa Coleman, and Maryann and Chris Ross, plus several grand nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be at a later date. Online condolences may be made at www.deberryfuneraldirectors.com.
