Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei rārangi - I mate a Collins i te pneumonia i Boston, i te 23 o Whiringa-ā-rangi 1995. E rima nga ra i muri mai, i tanumia ia ki te Whare Paremete o St. Joseph i West Roxbury whai muri i te Mass tangihanga i te Whare Karakia o Holy Cross o Boston i whakanuihia e Cardinal Bernard Francis Law, Archbishop o te Katorika Archdiocese o Boston (1984<unk>2002). Ko nga korero mo ia i whakaputaina i roto i te "MIT Tech Talk" me te Associated Press, me tana urunga ki te "The Encyclopedia of the Irish in America" (1999) i whakaputaina e te Whare Wananga o Notre Dame Press a na tetahi mema o te Hapori o Ihu i tuhi, kaore i whakahua ko te Mana Whare o Boston i wehewehe i nga whanaketanga whare a te iwi i roto i te taone nui i a ia e mahi ana, ko te tari o tana kaiwhakawhiwhi taake rawa i whakatinana i nga aromatawai whakahāwea, te whakautu a te Tari Pirihimana o Boston ki nga tutu o Grove Hall, ko te Roopu Whakahou Taone o Boston Banks i whakarereke i te Blue Hill Avenue, engari i kii te korero a te Associated Press ko nga kaupapa here whakahou taone i whakatinanahia e Collins i Boston i whakauruhia puta noa i te United States. I te tau kotahi o te tau 2004, i te tau ano i tukuna ai e te Kaunihera o Illinois a Barack Obama te korero matua i te Democratic National Convention i Boston
, i tono te kawanatanga o te taone i tetahi pakitara o Collins i waho o te Whare Taone o Boston e tata ana ki te teihana o te Whare Kawanatanga me te whakatapua o te Whare Taone Plaza ki a ia. Ko te kupu whakaahuatanga i whakairoina ki te tohu o te pakitara kaore e whakahua i nga kaupapa here wehewehe me te whakahāwehe ā-iwi o te whakahaere o te koromatua o Collins, me nga tutu o Grove Hall ranei.
