Arthur Colley

Unc, I knew you as a practical visionary, committed to the highest standards of freedom and responsibility. The lifework which came from your own awareness was totally aligned with the founders of Children's Country Week Association: Urban pressures and poverty press towards extinguishing the light of joyful living. . .and this light can be preserved or re-ignited by touching the vastness of the stars in the dark sky, the coolness of the morning dew, the awesome power of the storms of...

I enjoyed your company at Ashbridge as you smoked your cigars outside. Thanks for the stories and the bottle of wine you gave me

I was lucky to have had the opportunity to meet such a great man and role model during Art's days at Ashbridge Manor. His wonderful stories, life advice, and cheerful demeanor always put a smile on my face. Art will live on in spirit in all the people who got to know and love him.

Many times I have felt that my life began when I first arrived at Paradise Farm Camps, which would not have been the same without the love and devotion of Unc. We who have known him, even in passing, have been blessed. Gloria (Like) Goldschmidt

May God Bless and keep you Uncle Art Colley. May you soar with all the angels who helped teach and guide me through all those summers at PFC (Aunt Charlotte, Dr Dave and Aunt Margo). Your loving care and guidance has taught me to bless each and every day. I know my life would not have been the same without in it. RIP UNC you will forever live in my heart.

I will so miss your smile and sweetness. You have left a large footprint on this earth. Thanks for the tree. Love, Ellen

Art Colley is going to be greatly missed. He was a fantastic human being and a great educator and leader. I only had the privilege of working with him for one summer in 1960 but it was one of the best in my life. I can never thank him enough for being such a great friend to me and my family through all the years. Godspeed, Uncle Colley! Wawa Kiya forever!

Gina, My prayers are with your family. What a wonderful picture that accompanies this obituary. He looks like someone who lived life well.
