∼Clea R Collins was an absolutely wonderful man. He loved his family and had a special place in hs heart for his grand-babies. He was a U.S. Air-Force Vet. He was a farmer, and a security guard who always worked very hard. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He loved nature and animals. He always appreciated what he had, and never took anything for granted. He was very kind and gental hearted. He has 6 children, 2 boys and 4 girls. He had two wives, and was married to his 2nd one for 45 years. He really Loved her. He carved things out of wood, and made old tires into beautiful flower planters as a hobby. He liked to draw. He loved westerns. He always put others before himself...He was just the greatest man in the world, to me.
