He is also survived by grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Clarence was predeceased by his sister, Eileen MacDonald, his brother, Brian Collier, and an infant brother, Ross Collier.

The family is eternally grateful to the staff and residents of the Northside Community Guest Home for all of their love and care while Clarence was living there, enjoying many a card game and passing time together in front of the television. Thank you for all that you have done for him.
