“Bob Corley would be very pleased to see that his legacy is having an impact on the communities he loved,” said Chuck Brown, Senior Vice President and Trust Officer at Southwest Missouri Bank. “He was very generous to the community during his lifetime, and that generosity will continue in the future.
