I will never forget the friendship of this remarkable man. The way he loved God was inspiring. The way he loved life made his friendship enjoyable. When you start reviewing all the good traits of Bill Colley it leads to a celebration. But the one thing that influenced me more and I admire the most was his complete devotion to his wife Bette and his daughter Candy. Thank you Bill Colley for giving us the example of how God intends the love of husband/wife and father/daughter should be. Wellcome home my friend we will see you soon.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I worked In the claims dept. at Allstate. Loved to hear him talk about his family & church. He loved both very much. May God continue to bless & comfort you all at this difficult time.

In 1959, when I was but 16 years old, Bill, then working the Allstate booth at the downtown Sears, sold me my first automobile policy. For the next 34 years, all my vehicles were insured by Bill Colley. When we moved to Florida, we left Bill, but of course, he put us in touch with the right Allstate agent in Panama City. Bill was more than a friend, he literally was part of our family. I know he had many other customers who felt that way,too. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family. And I know beyond all doubt, he is in his Savior's arms.

So sorry to learn of Bill's death. He was my Allstate Agent from the early 60s until he retired. He was always available whenever I needed him. I always knew I was in"good hands" and I considered him my friend. Jenelle Golden

I first met Bill back in the '60s when he called on City Federal S & L Assn. My maiden name being "Colley," we had an immediate affinity and became lifelong "kissin' cousins." What great remembrances and what a great guy!

I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to your family. As Psalms 90:10 says, he was truly blessed with strength to have lived such a long life. In your time of sorrow, may God comfort your hearts. 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17

Bill was a great friend of my mom, Rose, and late father, Dave. The families enjoyed each other's company for years. Bill will be missed. We pray for peace and comfort for those left here. Rest In Peace
