William Corley Obituary

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my favorite man of all time....my dad!!! July 6th is the best day ever because that is the day in 1923 that God placed you here on earth........you were done with your duty here on earth in 2009 and God took you back so you could do even bigger and better things in Heaven. Dad, everyone that you have left behind here on earth misses you greatly....you really made an awesome impact on all of us. Have an awesome Birthday in Heaven.....one day we will all see you again...love you more and more each day. I realize that they will probably post this to your page a day before your birthday...but that is okay...go ahead and start celebrating!!

Dad, it's been 4 years since I last heard your voice. I remember that day all too well. I'm so glad that I talked to you that morning on the phone...I just wish that I could talk to you on the phone today....better yet....go see you and take you to lunch. I know we'll get to do that again one of these days. I love you tons and miss you like you can't believe.

You are the best!!!

Good Morning Dad! I hope you know that all of us here love you and miss you tremendously! We still honor and celebrate your birthday, even without you here. Don't know if Jesus told you about it ... but Jill created the most awesome arrangement for you, and drove to the cemetery to adorn you and Mom's marker. She is really, really good at doing these kinds of things. I know there are no more days and nights there in Heaven ... but we all wonder what all you and Mom do, see, and experience there. Just so you and Mom know ... we're all doing pretty good down here, in spite of you both not here with us ... but oh how we wish you still were. Anyway, Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad. ~ Ronnie

Today you would have been 90 years old here on earth. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish that you were here. I would have much rather gone out to Buckeye or have you here in my home celebrating this big day. I would have taking you to your favorite Buffet and bought you some Socks, Undershirts and Undershorts.....instead I put together a Bouquet of pictures of some of your favorite things. Dad, I love you and miss you greatly!!! Happy 90th Birthday. We all love and miss you :-)

Hey Dad....what are you and Mom doing for your big day today?? I hope you didn't forget...it's your 66th Wedding Anniversary. I wish you were both here so we could take you out to Dinner, but I know you are having the best time there in Heaven. We all love and miss you bunches. Happy 66th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!!! :-)

Hey Dad...it's your Birthday and you get to celebrate it in heaven. I know you'll be eating at the best buffet and enjoying it with Mom and Jim and all the other family members that are there. I love you so much and miss you like you wouldn't believe...but I know I'll get to see you again. Have the bestest Birthday ever!!

I hope you had an awesome Fathers Day in Heaven.....you know what....I feel extremely honored to have had you as a dad. I was compared to you to today...and it made me feel really good. I love you dad and it's going to be soooo exciting when I get to see you again. I love you lots!!!!

Just wanted to tell you and Mom Happy Anniversary. I think about you both each and every day. I remember all the wonderful times we had. You both are missed greatly. I know you both are having the best time. Love you bunches.

Dad I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I love you and miss you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss you and wish you were sitting on my couch eating chips and pop and watching TV. I wish that I was on my way out to Buckeye to visit with you and Mom. I love you dad and I know I'll get to see your smiling face one day in heaven.

Good morning Dad
I had a little trouble getting into your guest book for some reason today...fathers day of all days. I just want you to know there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I really love and Miss you so much. I think about all the silly things that you used to say and do and I think about the huge love you had for each of your family members. You were really the best dad a girl could have asked for.....Have a great Fathers day dad!!!!!

Love ya
Jill

Just wanted to wish you and Mom a Happy Anniversary. We all love and miss you very very very much and wish you were here so that we could take you to your favorite Buffet....but you are probably having the best Buffet right now. I love you so much!!!

It's been one year this 17th since we lost you and you went to be with Mom. I really miss you dad and I wish you were here sitting on my couch watching televsion with Randy and I...eating popcorn. I know eventually it will get easier but it's still pretty tough having you and mom gone from my life. I love you soooooo much and I know that one day I will get to see you again. Tell Mom and Jim that I love and miss them like crazy too.

Jill

Good Morning Dad !! Just stopping by to let you know how very much I miss you ... every minute, of every hour, of every day !!! Life is not the same without you here with us! But know this ... we all all better people because we once had you in our lives! I Love You !!! Here's a BIG hug for you, and give one to Mom & Jimmy for me also, will ya?

Hope all is well with you and Grandma. Stay out of trouble. Tell Grandma I said hello and that i miss and love her just as much. Take care Grandpa. Talk to you later.

Hi Dad! My, my, my ... how I do miss you! A little bird (Jill) reminded me that tomorrow is your birthday. So, although I know no one celebrates birthday's up in Heaven, since time is no more, I still wanted to wish you Happy Birthday for your physical birth. Since your birthday was smack dab in the middle of the summer, and you and Mom lived in the hottest place in the country, I never was there with you to share in the festivities. Can't handle that heat! I also want to wish you a belated Happy Father's Day. Please don't think for a moment that I forgot about it, or you on that day. That Sunday in church was filled with mixed emotions for me. I was sad because I missed you, and yes, my eyes were filled with tears, but I also was happy to know where you are spending eternity. We all know the luxury and the blessing of having you there for us, for anything, at anytime. And we also know not having you here leaves us with a void that no one else can fill. No matter what I was going through in life, good times, or bad times ... you were the one I could always turn to, and a rock I could always cling to. You always listened, you always understood, and you always offered advice, guidance and direction. Now do you understand how and why I miss you so very much? And why everyone else feels the same way? There's so very much I don't understand about how you are spending your eternity, and if our thoughts, feelings, and messages are allowed to get to you, to Mom, and to Jimmy. Whether they do, or do not, we'll keep sending them your way ... just as if you were still here with us. Say hello to Mom and Jimmy for me, and give them my love. I love you Dad ... I always will. Ronnie

Oh yeah Grandpa, I have some good news to share with you :-) Well the good news is, is that me and my dad are talking again. He is also Grandpa to Trent too. So we are one big happy family again. Trent and I went down to Texas to visit during a family reunion that was planned and I really enjoyed seeing my family again after 12 long years without them in my life. I thought I would share that with you because I am positive that you and Grandma would be happy to know that we have came together again.

Well I will let you get back to celebrating your birthday with Grandma and Uncle Jimmy. I know its a few hours early but the sooner the better....I love you Grandpa and I miss you so much!!!!!

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to you Dad...not sure when this will get posted so I thought I better do it now since your birthday is tomorrow, the 6th. I really love you and miss you. I'm always thinking about you and the fun times we had. I miss you coming over and watching movies with us and having popcorn. I miss you spending the nights over after the movie and then waking up and going out for breakfast. I talked to Carolyn and Jim yesterday and had a nice visit....she really misses you and thinks about you often. Are you taking care of mom? I wish I could hear your voices again. Well I'll let you go for now...you have some Birthday Celebrating to get to....be on the lookout for a Birthday Balloon from me. You can hang it on your cloud. Love and miss you Dad.

I seem to be having a lot of "firsts" lately. This will be my first Fathers Day without you. You always loved Fathers Day and your Birthday...any day you knew that all of us would get together and have fun and something to eat. I don't think that I will ever stop missing you. I think about you and Mom everyday. I find myself saying "What would Mom and Dad Do" or "How would Mom and Dad feel about this". Even though you aren't physically here I find myself still being guided by you and Mom. Dad you were such a good guy, a good dad and a good friend and I will never stop loving you. You meant the world to me and you will forever be in my heart. I know you'll have an awesome Fathers Day up in Heaven.....I've heard they have the best Buffet there and you love a good buffet. I love you Dad..Happy Fathers Day

Jill

LOL Dad....did you notice I put the wrong date in your post. I'm such a knucklehead. I had said sent you the message on Februray 5th and said "Hey dad..are you helping mom celebrate her Birthday today..feb 3rd?" What was I thinking...that is Brandy's Birthday. I remember when I gave Birth to Brandy and came home on Moms Birthday February 5th. Anyway....what did you and Mom do yesterday on her Earth Birthday?? I love you dad and miss you so much.

Hey dad....are you helping mom celebrate her Birthday today..feb 3rd? I left her a message also. Please give her my love and I love you and miss the both of you. Behave yourself dad!!

Hey Dad...Just checking in with you to let you know I love you and miss you. I really miss our mass phone calls on a daily basis...me making sure you are okay....you wondering why I haven't called you in a couple hours. I bet Heaven is awesome. Are you doing anything up there to make Mom say "oh Bill"? We all love you and miss you but we know you are having the best time. Love ya lots

I will miss my uncle Bill. There will never be anyone quite like him. Our prayers go out for all the Corleys during this time and for the whole year since Lavita's passing.

Grandpa, I just want you to know we miss you like crazy, and love you so much. Not only are you the best grandfather I could have wished for, but I was blessed to have you as an amazing father figure. You taught me so much. I am so excited and happy for you because you are where you want to be, and are in the company of the people you wanted to be with, walking with Jesus and Grandma.

You kids have had a lot of pain to endure these past six months, losing both mom and dad. I know how rough it is as I still miss my mom. Your folks were both special to me and we had lots of fun times together back in the 60's. That seems like 100 years ago. I also recall your dad making sure I knew he was coming and to have the homemade cinnamon rolls ready when he got here and usually extras for him to take home
I'm so glad knowing they are both enjoying the glories of Heaven and free of pain and the cares of this world. We will all be together soon with the Lord throughout eternity.
May God continue to watch over you all.
With all our love,
Pat and Bob
