Robert Corley Obituary, Death Cause – Robert Corley was a great man who left this world one week ago. He went quietly in his sleep following a night of dancing with friends. Robert, who passed away at the age of 87, was not just a beloved friend and a respected pupil who made a lasting impression on both the dance floor and the people he had the honor of knowing. Robert and I met at a dance event at the Civic Center in 2014, and I was immediately drawn to him because of his captivating demeanor and amazing dancing abilities. Not only were his solo dances impressive, but they also demonstrated his unwavering love for life.
But the thing that was most noticeable was Robert’s kind and hospitable nature. He had a peculiar way of making everyone feel important, especially the women he would politely invite to dance. Our friendship quickly took off, and before long, rain or shine, we were sharing the dance floor twice a week. We committed many years to honing routines that we repeatedly performed. We all learned how much fun it was to get dressed up and rule the social dance scene together. Robert’s commitment to dancing demonstrated his love for life and served as a reminder that one’s age should never be a hindrance to following one’s hobbies.
He showed that the joy of dancing, laughing, and companionship has no age boundaries, making him an inspiration to everyone who knew him. We will dance in Robert Corley’s honor, remembering him with the same joy and elegance he brought to our dancing partner and beloved friend. His love of life and the joy he discovered on the dance floor left a lasting legacy that continues to live on in the hearts of everyone he touched. Not only will Robert always be remembered as a dancer, but also as a dear friend and a shining example of what it means to live life to the fullest.
