Beloved son, Collin George Whitmore, 8, of Sandy Hook passed away peacefully Thursday February 25 with his Mom & Dad at his side. Collin was an old soul whose light brightened any room and whose smile would make you melt. Collin touched the lives of so many in such deep and varied ways. No words can express how much he will be missed by all. Collin's quiet enthusiasm for life not only shown in the sports he loved, hockey and golf but more importantly his ability to make anyone he came in contact know that their lives were special and that people such as Collin cared in a special and humble way. Collin leaves behind his loving family, Kim (Portocarreo) & Tom Whitmore, sisters Norah & Ciara, his Grandparents Nancy & George Whitmore & Frances Portocarrero, his Aunt & Uncles, Valery & Michael Whitmore, Steve & Lynette Purciello, his cousins Brendan & Katie Whitmore and his extended family and friends. We mourn for the loss of our son but know that our Angel is watching and protecting us. God Bless.
