Such a tragic loss to our business community. Randy epitomized business excellence and was an outstanding model for the true meaning of entrepreneurship. I had the opportunity on more than a few occasions to take a call from Randy who wanted to talk about the state of our local economy, local and provincial politics and most of all, how we would could make our community a better place for all. A generous and caring man who did it his way - the right way. London and indeed all of Canada need a lot more Randy Collins in them. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Audrey and family,
The comments left by friends of Randy say it all. He was a loving family man, a mentor, a generous kind man who gave to his community and loved the Lord. What a truly outstanding example for family, employees, community and friends. I have fond memories of the Collins family at Hully Gully Varna and Huron Centennial School. Thinking of all of you at this sad time.

To Audrey and all the Collins family, Jane and I have been so blessed by Randy and Audrey over the years at LGT and with the greater Christian brotherhood of London. He has always been such a generous and giving example of a true follower of Jesus. His humility and faith in what God could do if he (Randy) did his part was a valuable lesson to me. We know we will see him again as we have the same hope he has in his loving Lord. However our hearts and prayers go out to you as the separation is real even if only for a short time. Love, Ken and Jane Raymer

As the current Chair of the Impactus BOD I am truly mourning the loss of Randy. I was privileged to know Randy on several levels. His influence, in many of life's arenas was palpable. I believe to my core that without Randy's faithfulness and service to this ministry there might very well have been no ministry and BOD for me to serve in. Thank you Randy and thank you Lord! Grace and Peace in the days ahead to his wife Audrey and their entire family, the Hully Gully "family", and all those affected by Randy's passing. ¶
And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.

The Market family were very saddened to hear of the loss of this great man! We have so many memories of Randy and Dad and "snowmobile" racing. When mom passed away Randy and Audrey had such lovely words to say about her that helped ease our hearts. It was always great seeing him at the little Baptist church when they were at their cottage. What a great "man! He would always say "I would be duck soup without the Lord". We all would be. He has begun his new life walking along with Jesus!
Blessings and Prayers to the whole family.

I am blessed to have known Randy for decades and his passing leaves a big hole in my life. I appreciated him taking my son Chris on as a co-op student 16 years ago at Suzuki on Wharncliffe road. That step of faith in our son launched him on a career trajectory that now has him selling Porsche products in southern Florida. Randy was a mentor who earned the right to 'speak directly' to me. I was honored to be invited in to the Tuesday morning ISI meetings over a year ago as the prayers and planning for what would become ReBoot 2023 took place. His passing leaves a legacy that I am humbled and grateful to be part of. We will do our best to hold the torch high that he has passed onto us.
We continue to hold up Audrey and all of Randy's family to the Lord whom he loved so much. Well done Randy, you have been a good and faithful servant and brother to countless men, including me.

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of the amazing and irreplaceable Randy Collins, whose impact on the life and spirit of the London community is beyond measure. I personally owe a deep debt of gratitude to Randy for his personal encouragement and support through the years. And I know I am only one of vast numbers of people who were blessed by Randy's enthusiasm and by his strong faith, kindness and compassion. It was a privilege to be there as a city official in the early days of Randy and Audrey’s generous sponsorship of new playground facilities in the City of London. This was their initiative and such an example to others in the community of what it means to love your city and its people. Jack and I extend our deepest sympathies to Audrey and family and to all who will greatly miss this dedicated man of God. Sincerely, Dianne Haskett and Jack Kotowicz

MY CONDOLENCES TO AUDREY AND FAMILY- I HAVE WRITTEN A SMALL TRIBUTE .
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE KNOWN AND CALLED RANDY COLLINS MY FRIEND
AND MY ADMIRATION AND RESPECT FOR HIM WILL NEVER END
HE STRIVED VERY HARD TO ACHIEVE HIS DREAM
ENGAGING WITH OTHERS AND FORMING A TEAM
HE LOVED HIS BUSINESS AND WORKED HARD EVERY DAY
THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO GET AWAY
HE WAS ALWAYS SO THOUGHTFUL AND EVERYONE'S FRIEND
AND ANY DISAGREEMENTS HE WOULD BE THE FIRST TO MEND
RANDY WAS COMPASSIONATE, HUMBLE, CONSIDERATE AND KIND
AND A MORE GENEROUS MAN YOU COULD NEVER FIND
HE WAS HUMOROUS AND UPBEAT AND NEVER A FROWN
AND HE LOVED TO GIVE KIDS A BRAND NEW PLAYGROUND
THE LOVE THAT HE AND HIS WIFE AUDREY SHARED WAS AS DEEP AS THE OCEAN
AND NO ONE COULD QUESTION THE MAGNITUDE OF HIS DEVOTION
RANDY WAS A VERY RELIGIOUS MAN AND LIVED HIS FAITH EVERY DAY
AND WHETHER AT HOME OR ELSEWHERE HE WOULD ALWAYS PRAY
HIS PASSING IS A GREAT LOSS AND HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL
BUT WHEN HE GREETS SAINT PETER HE WILL BE ABLE TO STAND TALL
RANDY'S SPIRIT AND OUR MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON WITH US WHEREVER
SO FOR ALL WHO CARED AND LOVED HIM THE MEMORIES WILL BE FOREVER

Have known Randy for decades and have had the pleasure of working both with him and for him during this time. A more unique high energy person there never was... whether doing business or promoting his many pursuits outside of the commercial realm. A constant homily was the need to sublimate ego as he truly believed a humble and grateful person could accomplish much. Much he did accomplish, with his vision obvious in the way he structured and staffed Hully Gully as it is now well situated to thrive in the decades to come just as it did when he had his hand on the tiller... What a testimony to what can be accomplished!

I was saddened to read of Randy's death this week. He had a large and positive impact on many lives, including mine in my role as ad sales guy, calling on Randy and his staff weekly for more than a decade. He was of course dynamic and attentive to details, and always considerate and engaged, despite his busy world. More importantly, he wore his love for the business outwardly, and encouraged the best from his staff, his family, and even the ad guy. His enthusiasm and energy was a force to cope with, and to tap into and enjoy. My thoughts are with Audrey, Becky, Gordon and Chuck.

We knew all of you from Hully Gully in Varna, and spent many hours working with your team on some of our first jobs as teenagers. We both have great memories of those race Sundays and other events. Randy and all of you were wonderful to work with, and great neighbours and classmates. You will have so many special memories, especially having worked along side him all these years. We hope those memories bring you some peace in the difficult times ahead. From Dale Stephenson and Sandra Coleman.

Randy was a devoted Christian gentleman of incredible energy and great generosity. I had the pleasure to work closely with him and many other people for one year as we worked to defend true marriage during 2006.
He put his time, his money and his energy into defending his Christian beliefs, and I had great respect for him.
He was a family man first and foremost, and he made an enormous contribution to his community and his country. Canada needs more people like Randy Collins and he will be sorely missed.
.Rest in peace Randy!

The Stanley Township crowd sure knew how to party and Randy and Audrey were not only perfect hosts they made sure to get a dance or two in before last call. Noone could ever figure out where they got all that energy. The move to London brought lots more fun including the all Saturn nights at the drive in. It was so nice to connect recently and get caught up on the Collins family. Rest comfortably Randy, you have earned it.

Randy and Audrey were the very first people that I was introduced to back in 2005 when I relocated my family to London to marry my late husband Ted Wernham who was Randy's best friend and confidant, they certainly had a special bond between them....Ted and I had many exciting and good times with Randy and Audrey at their cottage, where Randy let my two young sons drive his boat, the fun they had while being pulled behind the boat in a inner-tube, riding on the SUV's, and my boy's of course helped in building some of the Saturn Playgrounds....also many fond memories of all the dinner's and events that my late husband and I were part of with Randy and Audrey...
Randy was a very kind and generous man and he will be sadly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. I'm certain that Ted and Randy are now re-united with our father in heaven..

Dear Audrey and Family, I including am very sorry for your loss. Randy is surely missed. I so appreciated his deep faith and desire to honour the Lord in all facets of his life. Randy's devotion to you was ever present. How many times did Randy say, "I need to talk this over with Audrey before we make a decision"? Randy so loved his children, and relished seeing them build their own lives. With Audrey, Randy sought to advance the perspectives which held dear, honouring both the greatest and second commandments. Randy gave glory in all he did to God the Promise Keeper and to Jesus, the Promised One. May his memory continue to bless you as Randy is now with the Lord.

What a Legend.
Randy’s light shines brightly in all of us.
A minute with him made you a better person… a better friend… a better professional… and made you feel like a SOMEBODY… and then, as it turns out, YOU have done the same for another as well… Whether you know that or not.
His light glows bright.
Can you go a week without quoting him or a quote he gave you? I can’t.
Gord and his father Randy are my mentors. They have largely influenced to who I am as a person, how I treat others, how I represent my team members, and provided an example of how I could be even better. Anyone in this family will also do the same, and have for many people. The Collins Family has made a difference in many lives.
The world is at a loss, but, it got way more than it bargained for with Randy. He was a locomotive (and he would gladly let you hitch your cart to him). He gave you an opportunity to be apart of making a difference, and, making memories in other people lives, all the while making a life for yourself & your family…. AND always keep moving forward, with honesty, integrity, and a personable approach, with humility & reverence… and this shall live on with everyone who he has touched.
Randy, I strive to represent you everyday. Thank you for giving me your time and your light. I will miss you and honour you.
PS - We will never forget that smile or the glimmer in your eye. Randy you have been a very special person who made everyone feel special… a true example and a leader. RIP.

Audrey, Chuck, Karrie, Becky, Gregg, Gord and the extended family: I knew Randy for over 35 years. We shared common experiences in the Automotive and Powersports business. In addition, we both served together on committees and the board of OADA/TADA. I found Randy to be truthful, faithful, righteous, fair and a wonderful person. That combination is very rare in today's world. He always told it like it is. I respected that and always enjoyed our conversations. I will miss him. My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family.

A Warrior laid his burdens down
At the feet of God cast his Crowns
Heard the Words " Well done my son"
Welcome home, your earthly work is done.
Randy's legacy will live on here on earth ..what rejoicing in heaven there must be!

So much to celebrate about the time I have had with the Collins family. The years I raced on the Hully Gully team hearing Randy and my Dad ( Irvin Ford) on the loudspeakers calling the Squirrely whirrly 125’s to the line and the call to all racers “Pitter Patter let’s get at er”. Randy was always a gentleman and a friend with a clap of the hands and a hoarse laugh. I’m proud to have known him and to the whole family heartfelt condolence to you and thank you

I worked with Randy for a number of years and I can truly say he was one of the greatest men I have ever known.
His fairness and leadership is unsurpassed in the automotive industry. A true pioneer of customer first.
Randy always treated me very well and had my wellbeing and success foremost in his thoughts.
I was also fortunate enough to know and work with his entire family and always felt welcomed.
Thank you for the memories Randy, you were on of the greats.
To all of his family, my deepest condolences at this time.

Randy was not only a boss but a great friend. I remember our prayer sessions every Friday morning . Even after my time with Hully gully was done I still went to prayer sessions . I will miss his enthusiasm and his faith.
