R. I. P. Gerald,
My thoughts and prayers go up! You are in a better place.
I will never forget you being my teacher when I was young. I thought you were mean. I thought that family got special treatment. But I learned real quick. It was years between us since until 4 years ago. And now you are gone. May you Rest In Peace with much love!
Sending my deepest sympathies to all of you. Jim as we called him was a great person. We spent many Bible Study Camping weekends with them and attended multiple Southern Gospel concerts with them as well. Jim was a great Bible Study leader for the United Methodist Men's Group. God used both Jim and Rose as Bible teaching conduits which my husband and I are truly grateful for. Jim always greeted you with a smile and was always upbeat and glad to see you. Jim was chockfull of knowledge about everything and enjoyed talking with him for hours.
Jim and Rose will never ever be forgotten. They made a difference in our lives..
Jim got us hooked on Southern Gospel including THE CATHEDRALS who became our overall favorite gospel group and we believed in every word they sang.
So Jim, you were always TRYING TO GET A GLIMPSE on the OTHER SIDE, and you took LIFE'S RAILWAY to HEAVEN, and WE SHALL SEE JESUS because THERE' A HEAVEN SOMEWHERE!
See you "AT THE HOUSE" Jim.
God Bless you all and may the Lord uplift you and sustain you always.

Donna, Grant, & Family,
Many thoughts and prayers are with you. Our deepest sympathies,
We will miss hearing him & seeing him at Bingo at Manatawny Manor when visiting our mother. We enjoyed his warm & caring ways & all the positive contributions he made to brighten the days of others.

I always enjoyed my times with Gerry when I was substituting at whatever Spring-Ford building we were in that day. What an awesome man. Rest in peace with Tose.
Although I have not seen Mr Collopy in several years, I know he will be missed by many.
He was such a great teacher, I enjoyed Geography class because of him. He made learning interesting and fun !!!
May he R I P.
Sharon, Donna and families. I was heartbroken to hear of Uncle Jim's passing. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of your Dad. He was very special and will be missed dearly. May you find comfort in the days and weeks ahead knowing he is free of pain and reunited with Aunt Rose. Love, Susan (Leister) and Steve Theil
Many fond memories of Mr Collopy first as a teacher and then later as a person I'd run into around town! Always had a kind word and a warm smile. He and my father will be talking sports in heaven!! May God bless you. Carol
