The passing of John Collins (London and Kilcullen)

The Diary has learned of the death of John Collins, Hanwell, London, and formerly of Kilcullen, on 15 November 2020.

The older brother of Jim Collins, who passed away in 2018, John was married to Anne Kelly of Inchiquire, and they had three children — Pauline (RIP), Christopher and Caroline.

Though living in London since the mid-1950s, John always maintained his interest in his home town and was a regular visitor back to Kilcullen. He is very much missed by his own family and the extended Collins family in the UK and Ireland, also by the parishioners of the Parish of Our Lady and St Joseph, Hanwell, where he was a very active member.

His funeral will be live-streamed from the parish in Hanwell on 2 December at 10am. The links are via Facebook or Youtube

May John rest in peace.
