The founder and CEO of his own marketing consulting business Adams & Thayer, he retired early to Waldoboro, Maine and Freeport, Grand Bahama where he enjoyed all the pleasures of living on the ocean – boating, walking on the beach, feeding the birds, drinking martinis, eating lobster, golfing, reading, and spending quality time with loved ones.

Markley; his many nieces, nephews, cousins, other family members, and close friends. He is predeceased by his eldest brother Arthur E. Colvin Jr. in 2000 and by his nephew Arthur E.
