Collura Family - I was sorry to hear of Vince's passing. My father, Burt Amgwert knew Vince through Elks Club. I went to school with Mary and we rode horses together a couple times. I remember Vince was always helpful at the stables. God Bless.

Donna: My fond memories of Vince go way back, since moving to TX 23 years ago. We had some great times choosing office furniture, and pumping more life into the Executive Club. Burt Folsom

Mrs. Collura & Family; So very sorry to hear of Mr. Collura's passing. I have great memories of Taylor Park Drive and running around with Mary when we were kids. Mr. Collura was a great help with my internships at KFOR and he was a strong presence there. He was the quintessential salesman.

Donna and family-I was so sorry to learn that Vince had passed away. He was a good friend from back in the old J.C.days and while he was at Latches and I was at Security Mutual Life. Also the Elks. As you may not have been aware, Janet passed away on July 28th so I too am in the status new to both of us. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family. Don Huffman

Donna and Family,
Vince was a wonderful, "Larger than Life" person who will be missed by so many. We especially remember his sense of humor and his laugh.
Here is a verse that reminds us of Vince:
II Timothy 4:7 ~ I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
....And, a poem we hope will bring some peace and comfort:
An Empty House
It’s not as if I’m going,
To an empty house, you see.
I know I’m going up there,
With my other family.
I want no tears or crying.
I want to see you smile.
Just stay with me and hold my hand
As I walk that last long mile.
My life’s been good and filled with love,
Just see how I’ve been blessed.
I’ve seen a lot and done a lot,
I’ve had the very best.
Why, look around and you will see,
As all of you are here.
That no one could have asked for more ~
You’re all so very dear.
No, it’s not an empty house,
This place I’m traveling to,
I’m just arriving sooner,
Than any one of you.
-- Patti Koch ‘99
Please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
With our deepest sympathy,
