Above all else, he loved spending time with family and friends. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Corky was a character, full of spunk, and one of a kind. He never knew a stranger and whether you knew him for a life-time or only an hour, he was your friend for life. He was fun loving and could light up a room, life of the party some might say. He could captivate an audience with the stories he would tell.
