"The tings I loved a lot about Officer Collins was how he was always so kind and how he taught D.A.R.E. programs. He was outgoing and funny, and he would sit with kids at lunch.

"One thing I'll miss about him was his jokes. On of his, well it's not really a joke, but he was saying he doesn't smoke and he said when he smells tobacco he'll hit the reverse and make a car sound like a car sliding on the road and he said that he'll turn the car around and drive away. So I'll definitely miss his jokes." ~Max
