I had the true pleasure of dealing with Bill at the bank and I was so saddened and in shock to hear the news. I had just seen Bill the previously week. My condolences to his family and friends and may you find peace in knowing that he was a real nice, ethical person and that he is somewhere really beautiful.

Bill was a friend and fellow Realtor. I knew him for almost twenty years and we worked together at Capalbo Realty on St. Pete Beach in the early 1990s. Our paths continued to cross in the area of business brokerage, and we'd see each other at BBF get-togethers. We even did some deals together.

To Stefanie and his family I offer my heartfelt condolences, but rejoice in having known him.

I'll never forget how excited he was when he got his degree, or how much fun we had when he and his brother took the guys from the office out on their sail boat in the Gulf.

Bill was an honest and ethical person and it was a pleasure to have worked with him.

The service for Bill was really nice and reflected his background and interests. It was a beautiful tribute, and we will miss him.

"To all members of the Corey family, My heartfelt sympathy for your loss of your beloved "Bill". He will be missed but not forgotten! Although I had not seen Bill for many years, I will always remember what a great sense of humor he had and how he liked to play jokes on me! I have fond memories of "Billy" as I knew him as he was the youngest of the Corey brothers that lived directly across the street from me on 6th Avenue South in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1963. "We were neighbors." ("Caryl Osborn")

To my friends who are the family left behind to mourn his passing, I say "Let's celebrate his life!" It is a sad time, and you bear a great loss in Bill, but I hope you will take comfort in each other and those around you who loved Bill and love you.......... sadness shared is halved, while gladness shared is doubled........ I'll share both with you all for Bill.
May God bless and keep you all in Grace and Love!

Love and hugs,
Raye
