Clyde Arter Colloms
March 15, 1921 — May 25, 2008
Clyde Arter Colloms, 87, went to be with his beloved wife of 61 years, Mellie, in the early morning hours of May 25, 2008. Millie preceded Clyde in death on April 15, 2003. He was a member of Westwood Baptist Church.

After the war, Clyde came home and went into the plumbing business in 1947, working every day until he had a stroke at the age of 85. Clyde's two sons, Alan and Keith now are continuing to operate the business, Clyde Colloms and Sons Plumbing. Mr. Colloms took great joy in his two grandchildren, Mandi and Andrew.

He is survived by his two sons, Alan and former wife Teri Colloms, Keith and wife Pennye Colloms; granddaughter, Mandi Colloms; grandson, Andrew Colloms, all of Cleveland.
