Robert Wilson Collins

West Point, 2008

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Nick Cosmas on April 19, 2010:

There are maybe a handful of folks who come into the world and touch as many lives in such a dramatic fashion as Rob. Light may be a common metaphor for life, but I think it is particularly fitting as it applies to the life of Rob Collins. During their course in life, some people are able to flicker a little bit of their light upon everyone they meet and brighten our world only briefly, while others unwaveringly glow for years. Robert was a rare individual who was able to do both. To those he knew briefly, he was a spark of light; to his family and friends, he provided a constant glow and to us all, his flame will never die.


"Well done, Be thou at peace."

Nick Cosmas '08
