Carlton John (Bud) Collins joyfully went home to be with his Lord and Savior June 18, 2020. We can only imagine what he sees and knows now….as he would say….I’ve waited a long time for this….he was 94 years old.

He was born on January 14th, 1926 to Minnie Augusta Krambeer and Robert Lyman Collins in Luana, Iowa. His mother nicknamed him her little “buddy” and so the name “Bud” stuck with him all through his life.
