Good point! I just checked on the birth date, and you can see it for yourself in the original obit. below.
So, that leaves the yearbook. I'll have to wait for the RW member who sent me the yearbook pic to respond to that.
COLLINS, Murray DavidJuly 24, 1950 - March 28, 2011
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Murray David Collins who died suddenly at the age of 60 on Monday, March 28, 2011. Murray will be lovingly remembered by his three children, Rhiannon Collins of Red Deer, AB; Julia Collins of Medicine Hat, AB and Justin Collins of Dutchess, AB; two grandchildren, Jayden Collins and Xavian Collins, as well as many friends. Murray had a love of music and as a result worked as a radio announcer for 30 years in a career he was passionate about. He was involved as a volunteer firefighter for several years and also enjoyed being Santa Claus at various malls over the Christmas season. Murray also had the opportunity to run with the Olympic torch this past year and felt extremely honoured and proud to be a torch bearer. Murray had an incredible sense of humour that could put a smile on someone's face and brighten their day. He will be missed terribly by his friends and family that were all so lucky to have him in their lives. Persons wishing to express their condolences to the family are asked to contact them through e-mail at
juliac@telus.net If we could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, We'd ask with all our hearts, For yesterday and you. We love you Dad!!
