James Lee Collins, age 87, Confluence, Pa., went to be with the Lord on Friday, July 31, 2015 from the Golden Living Center, Meyersdale, Pa.

He was born on Sunday, October 16, 1927 in Lower Turkeyfoot Township, Somerset County, Pa., son of John ‘Jack’ Collins and Nellie Mae (Rugg) Collins.

Jim, fondly called ‘Jimpap’ by his grand children and great grand children, was the kind of grandfather who not only took his grandkids to amusement parks but rode the roller coasters and water slides right along with them! He enjoyed spending time with his great grandkids as well as taking long walks in the woods with them and working on lawn mowers.

James was a veteran of the United States Army, a retired employee of the Somerset State Hospital, and a member of the Peoples United Church of Maple Summit.

Preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 60 years, Marion Ruth (Lambert) Collins; and brothers, John Collins and Calvin Collins.

He is survived by a son, James Samuel Collins and wife Carol Ann (Yommer) Collins of Addison, Pa.; grandson, Joshua Samuel Collins of Addison; granddaughter, Clair Ellen Nau and husband Corey of Somerset, Pa.; great grandchildren: Levi Samuel Collins and Mackenzie Rae Collins of Confluence and Carlee Ann Nau of Somerset; brother, Lewis Collins and wife Frances of Mill Run, Pa.; sister, Ruth Collins of Mesa, Arizona; sisters-in-law: Carol Collins of Confluence and Ruth Lambert of Somerset; and brothers-in-law: Burdette Walker of Somerset and Leonard Lambert and wife Jane of Hummelstown, Pa.

Friends will be received today from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the HUMBERT FUNERAL HOME in Confluence, Pa where a Service will be held Monday, August 3, at 11 a.m. Rev. Samuel McClintock will officiate.
