Albie was a generous, gregarious, and thoughtful man who changed my life in so many ways and opened doors that I didn't even know I needed opened. I'm so grateful for the few short years when I worked for him at HBO. I was just mentioning him last Thursday when my husband and I walked past a golf course in my neighborhood. The day was beautiful and I could imagine him right there on the green, having a glorious time. He will be missed and always remembered fondly.

Albie was the most inspirational person I have known. I was junior then and young so had difficulty in calling him Albie and not Mr Collins! He embodied the open door philosophy, made me feel he would always be there for any of us.
He gave us the HBO family spirit.
May he rest in peace.

Albie was a teacher, mentor, inspirer, and a remarkable leader. He had a keen sense for recognizing the strengths in every individual and used that to help make them successful. His encouragement to go beyond ones comfort zone drove many to unimagined success. His enlightened style of leadership, so rare to find, was behind the most creative, successful and enjoyable time in my career and for many others who were fortunate to be part of his team.
Albie celebrated life and made sure we celebrated our successes. He taught me to play Squash and urged me to work out and be mindful of fitness. I so much looked forward to sharing with him and did so for many years after we left HBO. He genuinely cared for all of us and made each of us feel special. He thought anything was possible and made me believe it as well.
His loss is felt deeply. My condolences to the Collins family whom he expressed and showed so much love for. His legacy will live long and may his memory be a blessing.

My condolences to the entire Collins family. Albie was an amazing person and had a good word for everyone he touched. He was my last interview at HBO before I was hired in IT 23 years ago. I will always remember that meeting, as if it was yesterday. Albie was truly one of the great people who put the "Home" in Home Box Office. He will be missed, but our memories of Albie Collins will always remain.

My deepest sympathies to the Collins family.
I met Albie when he joined HBO and credit my success there to his support and mentoring. It was my good fortune that I had the opportunity to be a direct report to him during his long tenure at HBO.
Albie had many amazing traits/abilities. The most impressive one was his interest in people. He truly showed that he cared about the lives of people that he met. He never failed to ask about family. He would remember the names, ages and schools of HBO’ers children. Perhaps that was because he was so proud of his children and grandchildren. He spoke about them often.
As a leader, he was open minded and fair. He would have many ideas—many good and some not. He would not get angry when there was push back to some of the not good ones. He fostered a collaborative work environment where staff was willing to speak their mind.
We traveled together to events and conferences several times a year. What impressed me about those times was how many people Albie touched. No matter what city we were in, someone would recognize him or he would recognize them.
I’m grateful to have known Albie and will not forget him.

I extend my sincere condolences to the Collins family on the loss of dear Albie . He was always a gentleman, full of good humor , extremely intelligent , engaging , encouraging , and deeply loved his family. It was a great honor for me to call him "friend" and "co-worker"
I had the great privilege of working with Albie at HBO for many , many years. He was an extremely gifted leader and IT executive who built an amazing team which took HBO forward at a pace that technically outstripped HBO's competition . Albie and team developed and delivered many in-house data processing and management systems that enabled HBO to expertly manage and schedule ,for subscriber viewing, its very complicated licensed Hollywood movie rights , and also systems that managed and maximized HBO's downstream sale of its original programming into the global market. Further , Albie and his team created an in-house revenue management system ( cable, satellite and telco affiliate "billing system") which tracked and assembled all of the diverse aspects of HBO's varied and complex network carriage agreements into monthly bills as required. These are but a few of the many outstanding contributions that Albie made at HBO during his long and very successful career. Albie , I thank you for your friendship and leading the way forward. I will always remember you with great admiration and gratitude.
May God bless this wonderful gentleman and the Collins family. Peace be to you all.
Very respectfully with great sadness, Bill Nelson

Had the pleasure of working for Albie as a DBA. This was my going away party when I left HBO. Good memories of Albie and the working atmosphere during that time.

I was hired as a software engineer at HBO in 1987 when Albie was head of the department. He established such a supportive, convivial atmosphere and was universally loved by department staff.

My condolences to Albie's family.
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Albie through his association with Tri-State Hospital Supply. Being a rep in NYC, he always made a point to chat with me at meetings we attended together. Loved to talk tennis and golf with him. I appreciated his curiosity, positive attitude, & genuineness.
My warm regards,
Dave Moyer
