COLLINS, Clinton Charles. May 28, 1933 鈥� July 13, 2013. One of the brightest lights of our family was sadly turned off with the peaceful passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Clint Collins. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Muriel, children, Debbie, Sherry (Frank), Dale (Laura), Ray, Mary (Don), Norma (Ken), sisters Carol (Rudy), Maddie (Albert) and brother, Vince (Monica). In addition Clint leaves behind 15 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, many relatives and long-time personal friends. Clint grew up in a large family and always maintained his devotion to being the 鈥渇amily guy鈥�. He was devoted to his wife, his children, his many close relatives and his many friends. Clint had a number of different careers in his life, but his passion was driving. He served as a driver in the Alberta oil fields, a milk truck driver, a bread delivery driver and a long haul truck driver. He and Muriel, along with their kids, also successfully operated an orchard in Oliver for a number of years. Clint knew how to provide quality service to his customers and in doing so he grew a large network of friends and fans.
Clint also had a passion for the outdoors with many memorable moments with family and friends spent happily around campfires and car top boats, always seeking out the best catch of the day or the best hand of crib.
At Clint鈥檚 request, there will be no service, but a celebration of Clint鈥檚 life will be held at the annual family picnic on August 11, at Noel Booth Park in 91原创 at 1:30 PM. The family would like to thank the wonderful doctors and nurses at 91原创 Memorial Hospital for the quality of care they provided to Clint.
