William Frank Collora of Montgomery, TX passed away at the age of 65 on January 15, 2021 in The Woodlands, TX. William "Bill" Collora was born and raised in Huntington, NY to William and Jacquelyn Collora.
Bill moved from New York to Texas in 1978 with his young family. Following in the footsteps of his parents to Houston, TX. He worked hard his whole life to own and operate a local plumbing company, alongside the help of his two sons every day. Bill was the social center of his large family. He loved to entertain with Italian food, red wine and loved his Ma's tomato sauce. He had a big laugh, loud voice and had a jokester personality. His presence would fill the room. His love of music and the Beatles were often his favorite subject.
There is also the side of him that his family knew well, he was a son, big brother, Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, and a friend. He was generous, un-judgmental and forgiving to the people he loved. His passions varied greatly from boating, fast cars, fly fishing, camping, RVing and traveling to Colorado. He enjoyed playing the stock market and was a savvy businessman. But some of his and our favorite nights were his movie nights, swimming, fishing at home with his kids and grandkids. All of his children share his passion for a love of animals and aquariums.
He was a proud father to Robyn, Billy and Joey and their beautiful families and his grandkids. He enjoyed bragging about Lily and Rose in their accomplishments in school and sports, and was so excited for their futures.
He was preceded in death by his father William Collora and brother James Collora.
He is survived by his children, Robyn (Dennis) Wear, Billy (Amy) Collora, Joey (Candace) Collora, Lily and Rose Collora. His grandchildren Emily and Will Collora, Alexis and Colton Collora, Sadie and Ava Wear. His mother Jacquelyn Collora, siblings Linda Lavino and Perry Collora. Numerous nieces and nephews and close friends. Also, the mothers of his children Linda Alexander and Geralyn Collora. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.
