Even though I never got to meet you I was born the year of 1966 and growing up I always heard great stories about you. My daddy (your brother) never told me how he stepped up for your son Bobby Jr but your son did and Bobby Jr invited me to Florida to visit so he could tell me all about it but that trip I didn't get to make. He past away before I could. I know you must be rejoicing and enjoying all of your family members I can only imagine what a reunion that is. I bet the roof of heaven is busting wide open and Ma-ma Corley is the lead ring leader. I miss all of my family so much I catch myself a lot losing myself in all the memories coming up as a Corley so much love and kindness and respect. I learned a lot from my family daddy was hard but he taught me well. He said when I was a child I would know one day when I had children of my own and he was right about everything he said and taught me. I am so grateful to have u as my Uncle a hero a selfless hero who gave his life so another could live!! I will always be grateful for the family I was raised up in and hopefully some day I will get the chance also to reunite with all of my family and meet you. My mother talked so highly of you. She said you were the kindest and sweetest man she had ever met besides Papa Corley. I just wanted to share this on this memorial weekend of 2020 because I you were weighing heavy on my mind just thinking how u gave your life for another. Thank you for all of your dedication and caring for others... love your niece Sherry Corley Harp

HERO!

October 30, 2005

To my grandpa....everytime someone asks me who I would want to meet if I could meet anyone in the world, I have always answered it with "my grandpa". Although I came into this world when you were already in heaven, I have felt as if I've always known you. I know of so many wonderful stories of your life and of the kind of man you were, that I feel as if I have known you all along. I know you look down upon me and your family everyday and you smile at us, sending us hugs and kisses. You'll be proud to know I have started a family of my own and I look forward to passing on your heritage and honor. Unlike most people who never get to meet their "favorite or famous person", I will. Grandpa, I can't wait until the day I get to meet you. What a beautiful day that will be when I finally get to hug you and tell you how much I love you.

Dad....So many years has past...you'll always be in our hearts as a brave and couragious man who put the safety of other lives in front of your own. On that tragic nite you gave your life to save the young trainee who was riding with you. You made the ultimate sacrafice you could make, you gave him life. We know you look down upon your family with pride..And we long for the day that we can be reunited with you. Your character and love has sustained us through out our lives.... Now I'm grown with a family of my own but I'll always think of you as 'Daddy"
Your loving son, Bobby Jr.
