I am so sorry for the loss of such a great man. Glenda, Kevin and family, Angela and family: please know that Bob will be greatly missed and many will consider him a blessing to have been in their lives. Bob was always gracious and sincere to to all the friends that came over to hang out with Kevin. We had a blast in their basement in the house on Mattox Street. I appreciated Bob and Glenda's hospitality in allowing a bunch of goof-ball boys to join them in U of I tailgates and basketball games. It was great fun then, and left good memories.The city of Sullivan is a better place because the Corley Family called it "home" for so many years. God Bless all of you in this time of grief. So many of us here are grieving with you. Please remember that he is in a great place now and probably teeing off right now. Scott Bales

When I first arrived at Gulf Harbour, I met many members but then (thank heaven) Bob Corley met me. This wonderful man took a lot of his time during my first few weeks and more, to make me not only welcome, but to make me feel quite special! I only realised later that Bob did this with everyone! What a man, what a gentlemen! Thank you Bob, and may you rest in peace, well-deserved. Joe Hayward

Bob was the most welcoming individual I knew. When we moved to Gulf Harbour he went our of his way to get me involved in golf and introduce me to people that are great friends today. I will miss him severely Doug Duncan

Glenda, I am so very sorry for your loss. I met Bob when you started dating him in 1959 or 1960 ( can't remember exactly when) on the porch of one of our aunts in Herrick, IL.Find comfort in your many wonderful memories.Kit

Bob tried to take me out on the course in the 60's. While you were living in the Peoria area. I was so inept at the game that I never went again. Bob was his gracious self and did not treat me as a hack. But did not try to get me to go again. So sorry for your loss. Love Perry

Bob did so much to make my life at Gulf Harbour fun…especially the Mon/Friday golf group and the fall golf tipswich. Bob and Glenda al ways planned a trip that was great for the golfers and non golf partners! He will truly be missed, but always remembered with a smile.Arnie & Liz Harris

Glenda, Kevin, and Angela, Sorry for your loss. Bob will be missed by all of us. Had many enjoyable memories boating with Bob, family and friends at the Findlay marina and on the lake. Our boating trip to Lake Powell and sightseeing at the Grand Canyon was especially memorable. Please accept our sincere condolences in your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.Tom and Debbie Evans
