Ray was born March 19, 1931 to parents Maurice and Rose (McCoy) Collins of Lohrville, Iowa. He graduated from Lohrville High School in 1949. He married Ardys Boes of Breda, Iowa on November 10, 1953 and moved to the farm in Greene County. There, they raised four children; Anthony, Elizabeth, Jennifer, and Melissa. Ray was a lifelong farmer always expanding business through raising various crops and livestock as well as installing center pivot irrigation systems in the 80’s. He was recognized as Greene County Outstanding Young Farmer and the recipient of Master Corn Growers recognition. Through the years he was active with 4-H clubs, a member of the Scranton telephone board, Ralston volunteer fire department, and St. Paul’s Catholic Church. He enjoyed woodworking from his own furniture designs especially as a gift to others. Ray was a great storyteller and loved learning, often relating history to current events. He enjoyed taking the family on yearly vacations and especially adventures to Ireland, Brazil and the Masters golf tournament in his later years. Piloting his plane and driving a great car were points of pride and joy. Ray also liked treating family and friends with original “Just A Note To Let You Know” poems. Golfing and playing poker were favorite forms of entertainment. Raymond was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Ardys; son, Anthony (Tony); brothers Francis and Richard, and son-in-law, Michael Thompson.
