Clifford Charles Collins

Clifford is survived by his wife Patricia, brother Kenneth (Janet), sister Loretta, brother in law William (Sandra), brother in law Andrew (Janet) as well as nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. He was preceded in death by sister Beverly (Chester) and brother in law Stephen. Cliff served his country honorably in the Vietnam war and was awarded the Bronze star. Cliff loved the outdoors. He fished and hunted all his life. In his travels, he faced a herd of buffalo in the Badlands of South Dakota. He had his fishing interrupted by a bear coming to help him enjoy his bounty in Ontario, Canada. He held a license to run raft trips on the rivers in Oregon where he would run many exciting white water trips. He relished hunting elk and deer in the Blue Mountains with his hunting buddies. He and his stellar hunting dog Mickey, went bird hunting for geese (on the Columbia in January) chukar and pheasant. He and his wife traveled to Europe where they danced the waltz in Vienna, Austria, visited windmills in Holland, the Louver and Notre Dame in Paris, France, the Tower of London in England and much more. Upon retirement he traveled the country here for several years in a motor home seeing all the sights this great country has to offer. If he could have he would still be on the road to somewhere. Just never wanted to quit.
