Poetic Obituaries: [Harry Carl Collins] was valedictorian of his

high school class, spoke five languages, possessed tremendous general knowledge in all subjects and would beat you at Trivial Pursuit! His powerful verbal skills gave him a wonderful dry wit which often resulted in a satirical humorous quote from a Shakespearian play or a Latin phrase being reapplied to the issues of the day, a published poet, and an artist in any medium. Painting a wall mural or hanging his custom-made wallpaper was all the norm.
