Over the past several weeks, we’ve had the honor of sharing the story of Larry Collins—a man whose legacy continues to live on through his family, Sig Samuels, and the countless lives he touched.
Larry was more than a dedicated employee. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and friend. His kindness, integrity, and commitment helped shape the relationships and reputation that define Sig Samuels to this day.
In January 2010, Larry was diagnosed with ALS. After a courageous 14-month battle, he passed away in March 2011. While ALS took so much from him, it never took away the love he had for his family or the impact he made on those around him.
Today, his legacy lives on through his wife, Sheila, his two sons, Steve and Adam, and his four grandchildren.
Steve Collins, now co-owner, with Broy Crosby, of Sig Samuels, has proudly led our ALS Walk team every year since 2010 in honor of his dad and everyone still fighting this disease. Adam Collins spent much of his adult life serving alongside us at Sig Samuels, helping build the trust and friendships that have made our business feel like family. We are incredibly grateful for all he contributed before relocating to Marietta with his own family.
As we continue our summer ALS awareness campaign, we invite you to follow along as we share more of Larry’s story, ways you can support ALS research, and how you can join Team Larry at this year’s ALS Walk.
Larry’s life reminds us that a person’s legacy isn’t measured by how long they live, but by the lives they touch. His will never be forgotten. 💙
