Not sure what to say?

Colby was an example of integrity. Colby loved his wife and his family! I am sorry for the loss of this great person, a consistent lawyer and loyal to his family and his community. I didn't know! I was looking for Him to consult Him, and I found this very sad news!!! I am shocked!

Leslie, so very sorry to learn of Colby's passing. We became good friends at Dartmouth and stayed in touch, albeitly sporadically, over the years and he was most definitely one of the "good guys"! Anyhow, just wanted you to know that I and a lot of old Dartmouth friends were thinking of you and the family. Best regards.

Leslie, I am so sorry for you and your family. Justin, Kathleen and I had such a remarkable evening with you in Memphis, after years of corresponding with Colby by email. I hope you can take comfort that his powerful example will live on and benefit immensely the many friends and family he touched in his life of generosity and service. The hill winds will remember his name.

Leslie and other family, I am so sorry to learn just now of Colby's passing. I led a Memorial Service at the recent Dartmouth '71 Class Reunion but we did not know at the time. I knew he was sick again from an exchange of emails which indicated we could not meet in person when a few of us came to Memphis for a River Cruise in early May. May peace be upon us all.

I am so sorry for the passing of Colby, my childhood friend and team mate. I offer Leslie and all the family my hugs and prayers. He was like another brother to me living right across the street. Colby, Charlie, my brother Kevin and I would play sock ball in the Morgan yard, Civil War battles when we were young, a full Major League season of strato-matic baseball all summer, stratego, risk, basketball in the barn upstairs, baseball at Drakes Field, touch football at Bill Carpenters,...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Colby will be greatly missed by so many people. I am thankful that I could call him a friend.

So Sad to hear. Praying for all of his family. He will always stay a memory to all his Classmates at P.H.S. Rest In Peace my friend and fellow classmate.

Dear Morgan, I wish to express my sincerest sympathy to the family as they mourn the loss of someone incredibly special to them, and may God answer you in the days of distress.
