COLLINS, F. Garth -
Garth was dealt his last hand that had lots of heart, well supported by determination, courage and grace. With Laurette's love and support, Garth played his final trump card and died peacefully at home on March 6, 2013, in his 87th year. Loved by his partner Laurette Johnson, Laurie and Ron Contois, Glen and Linda Collins, grandchildren Meaghan and Daniel Collins. Predeceased by his wife Margaret ( Walmsley). Garth received encouragement, support and joy from his family, faith and many friends. Garth enjoyed an active retirement that included bridge, lawn bowling, birding, curling, hiking and travel (did we mention bridge?!!!)
