Reuben Collier, Right hand man at the Family Assistance for Renaissance Men program.

Mr. Collier was a ray of sunshine. He seemed to have a positive attitude that permeated everyone in his presence. When I think of him, I think of his big smile, and the way he would get that mischievous look on his face when he was teasing someone. He made me smile many, many times with that look and with the clever things he would say. He was able to discuss very serious, important topics and make people smile - all at the same time! He was a joy to be around. He was kind and caring but also serious and unwavering when he needed to be. His was a life well lived - full of joy, passion and a positive attitude. The FARM program was better because of him, and we will miss him dearly. I will miss seeing him and I will miss his smile. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. May they find peace in remembering and knowing what a wonderful man he was. He touched many, many lives and his spirit will live on in those he cared for.
