Robert Leslie "Bobby" Coley passed away on Wednesday, December 14, 2022 following a long struggle with Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia.

Following his marriage to Janie in 1965, he went to work for Buggs Island Telephone Cooperative as a Linesman/ Serviceman, a position he held for 33 years until his retirement in 1998. He truly loved his job and the customers he served. Bobby was a consummate deer and duck hunter and an avid collector of antique duck decoys, duck callers and various hunting items. He lovingly shared his passions with his son, Chad, who continues his dad’s legacy.
