Bud Collins ashes laid to rest Saturday

Bud Collins – analyst, raconteur, tennis lover and friend to all, died March 4, 2016 at the age of 86.

But his ashes were finally laid to rest Saturday at the 175-acre Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The stone is purple, with touches of green – no surprise, Wimbledon colors. 

Memories of Collins’s signature colors were everywhere, brightening up a rainy day as Collins could always do in his own inimitable way.

He is still missed by so many – a tribute to a good life, well lived, in which he treated everyone he met as if they were the world No. 1.
