Not sure what to say?

Richard Grove and Donna Wolff Jacques both send our sympathy to the family. We both remember Corney from RB high school as being a great friend!

Bob (Corny) and I were good friends since grade school. We played all sports together, mostly unorganized pickup games including baseball, basketball and football. Corny was always the quarterback in those games. We also played together on the Riverside-Brookfield High School varsity basketball team. He was quite a survivor, having beat (I think) lymphoma around age 30. He will be missed by all. Condolences to the family.

Bob spent many days in my boat while fly fishing for trout and steelhead. He had a warm personality and a contagious laugh. He also had a heart of gold and I will miss him.

Bob & I shared our voice condition of Spasmodic Dysphonia. Over trips to Chicago for treatment, we bonded and had lots of laughs. I loved his attitude and happy personality. He will be missed.
RIP Corny❤
