Grandpa Bill was one of the classiest most amazing men I have known.  There is not a memory I have of him that was not filled with love or family.  For me, the last 20 years, he was kind, funny, accepting, and a wonderful presence.   I so enjoyed his stories but most of all his kindness.  He loved his family more than anything in this world and was always protective of them.   In his 80's (me in my late 20's) he followed me to a bank in Leawood, Ks because he was worried about me.   He was always protecting and thinking about others.   He loved his four grandsons and four great grand children so much.   He will be greatly missed, but heaven will be a much better place with him in it.   Nobody didn't love Bill Cory.   He was who we should all strive to be.  Talented, loving, kind and unconditional.

I also have wonderful memories of my Uncle Bill. Coming to visit my Aunt Rene and Uncle Bill every year was the highlight of my summer. We had great times, picnics, swimming and movies. It was all good! I was very interested in Bills work and remember going into his office and watching him draw. He did excellent work. He always had what I'd call a sweet spirit. I loved his smile and the way he took time to talk to my sisters and I. This I'll remember always. I've included a photo of our house in Chicago which Bill Designed.

I have so many fond memories of my Uncle Bill!  Endless summers spent with a cold coke and a fun day at the club, swimming.  He will forever be a part of me and who I have become.
