Dear Nancy,

I just saw you today at the Blues Fest and did not know about "Corky".

Once again I am so sorry to hear about his passing.

I hope you will be ok and trust that he is watching down on you and missing you also.

Take care of yourself...

Dear Nancy, I was so sorry to find out that Corky had passed away. I really enjoyed working with him at American Pool Service. He was so much fun, and he spoke so highly of you. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Nancy, we haven't met, but feel as if we know you since Corky spoke of you often. Karen and I are long time friends of Corky from the gym (both Paoli & Devon). We loved the man and will miss him. He had so many friends at the gym all of whom are shocked and sadden to learn that we won't be seeing his smiling face and have him share a story or two with us. He will be missed and thought often. What a nice, nice man!

Corky, Way too soon my friend. What will Linda and I do now without you to backstop us on the Phillies games and to give us the real news on Main Line fires? Nancy, you know that Linda and I are just a phone call away. May God give you comfort in your time of loss knowing that Corky has achieved eternal life.

Nancy, I was so sorry to hear of Corky's passing. I remember discussing old times with him at the Radnor '65, '66 Reunion in 2010, and laughing about some of the crazy stuff we did back then. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during what I know is a difficult time.

Nancy, it's almost impossible to think of one of you without the other. What tremendous love you shared. I am so very sorry for your loss of such a really special man. Corky, you were A-OK in my book. So many will miss you.
