It is with heavy hearts that the family of

life, his children Andrew and Michelle Collins
of Vernon; his mother Lillian Collins-Amlin
and Johnny Amlin of Lethbridge, Alberta; his
brother Les Collins (Shelley) of Lethbridge,
Alberta and his sister Norma Barsness (Bob)
of Birchcliff, Alberta; as well as nieces and
nephews. He was predeceased by his father

was held at Vernon Christian Fellowship at
