Colie (King Fish) was married Nora Smothers and to this union one daughter was born Sophia.
He has two grand-daughters Jacqelyn, Jasmine and and three grand-sons Jerel, Jermaine who preceeds him in death and Jalen. He was very close to his grand-children and was very proud of all of them and was especially crazy about his youngest grand-son Jalen that was his heart.
Colie worked with his brother Dan who owned and operated a Standard gas station on Grandriver in Detroit for over twenty five years.
Colie was a very close friend of mine and was second a father to me. He had the funniest sense of humor and was a very well known and liked in the community. He loved riding his bike, he had a little shop in the neighborhood on the North-end of Detroit where all the old timers would come around everyday and chew the fat. A place the old timers could go to get out of the house.
