Big Thad was always very kind to me and my family. The consummate story and joke-teller, he would always have us laughing whenever we got to see him. He still inspires my fly-fishing to this day. I have the vision of him sitting in his guideboat, just off-shore, tying a fly onto his tippet, and burning down the tag end with the lit cigarette in his mouth. Then without missing a beat, flip a perfect cast out in to the lake! We will miss you!

The Adirondacks won't be the same without him. I'll miss him dearly. He always made me feel welcome and part of the family. I'll never forget his kindness nor will I forget the many great stories he told. I will take comfort in thinking about his great legacy. His amazing wife, his beautiful and talented children, and his many grandchildren. He remains with us through all of them. Altogether a life well lived! Safe journey Big T!
Thought and prayers go out to the Collum family. Coach Dudzinski
Mr. Collum was a great man and he will be missed by all who knew him.
He was kind and compassionate and told the best stories ... i like to believe
he is starting a new adventure and will see him again when we travel that way...
God Bless TPC. To the family my deepest sympathy to you all he will leave a
void that cannot be filled, but remember only the good times you shared with him
it will help you get thru the days ahead.
