So sorry to hear about Ernest. I met him thru the Ky. Ag Water Quality Authority. He was always the perfect gentleman! The meetings won’t be the same without him. I know he loved Kentucky and always wanted the best for our great state.

I am so sorry that I am out of Frankfort at this time and unable to personally express my deepest sympathy in person . Ernest was a good friend . I meet Ernest at WKU in 1966 when we both were persueing degrees , Him a Masters in chemistry and me a BS in Education . We lost contact for a few years persueing our different carrers . We reconnected in 1986 when I met my wife who worked for Ernest in the Department of Agriculture . Ernest was a very good man in every way possible and I will miss him greatly . I truly believe I am a better man for knowing him . RIP my good friend , Hopefully our souls will reconnect again sometime in the future .
Your Friend

Mr Collins was a great neighbor and friend for more than 30 years. I enjoyed our back yard conversations and the sharing of tools, trash cans, parking places and many many stories of growing up in rural Kentucky.
I think his family was always first with him but he had a deep love for the Commonwealth and the land in general. I happily received many lectures regarding pesticides and the need to protect our planet for future generations.
We will miss you greatly Mr Collins and wish to express our condolences to Mary Lynn and the entire Collins family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Collins family. I enjoyed working on several committees with Mr. Collins. He was always so thoughtful and pleasant to be around. He will be missed by many who knew him.
Payers to the family.

So sorry to all the family for your loss. I will miss our conversations we had when we ran into each other at Kroger. Being from the same hometown it was fun to talk about old times and exchange family updates. Prayers go out to you during this difficult time.
