There’s the famed Collins Avenue in Miami, and now there is a TIM COLLINS WAY in Farmingdale!
On Saturday, October 11th, at 4:00 PM, it became official as the street sign was unveiled in front of a huge crowd, and just outside where The Inn On Main used to be—the corner of Main Street and South Front Street. Everyone could feel the Love and Respect for Timothy Collins, formerly of Farmingdale, who passed away in February 2008. Tim was the proprietor of The Inn on Main and was a former owner of Mer’s Pub, a wrestling coach at Farmingdale Schools, and a supporter of innumerable athletic teams, organizations, and fundraisers for the Farmingdale community. And of course, he was also the devoted husband of Teri, beloved father of T.J.
Celebrating the unveiling of Tim Collins Way, which hangs with Daler pride on the corner of South Front Street, were many friends and family, with the help and outstanding efforts of Farmingdale Village Trustee Craig Rosasco, Farmingdale Mayor Ralph Ekstrand, and Deputy Mayor
William Barrett, Village Trustees Cheryl Parisi and Walter Priestley, DPW, and many others! It was terrific to listen to Craig and Teri’s heartfelt speeches, along with the special others, including fellow restaurant owner Tom Soluri. Also in attendance at the celebration was New York State Senator Steven Rhoads, as well as Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato, who presented a Proclamation declaring October 11, 2025, as Tim Collins Day in the Village of Farmingdale. Jennifer Gallub Pravato represented Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s office (she is running for a legislative seat).
