Not sure what to say?

My husband Carl Bellini was a friend of Corky. They were stationed at Ft. Myers and played baseball together which I have a picture. Carl passed away 3 years ago. He had fond memories of Corky. Connie Bellini PBG, Fla.

Never really knew Corky, but enjoyed watching him play for Southeast Hs and later was proud of the way he represented K STATE. So glad such a talented man would be remembered as a humble person. Just a tidbit, his Dad gave me a ride when I was hitchhiking home from DLS high school in 1950 He impressed me as Gentleman.

To Patty and family. Don and I loved being friends with you and Corky. Know what your pain is. Love to all of you.

Dear Patty and family, I am so sorry you are without Corky. You all know what a dear and special person you have wonderful memories of. Dick and I carried remembrances of Dick and sons adding the edition to your home and how that was the beginning of our long friendship. I send deepest sympathy to you all. With love, Jane

Corky was one of my first bosses at the University of Arizona, Residence Life. He was a kind, even-tempered and gentle man and I always thought he dealt fairly with both students and staff. My condolences to Patty and the entire Taylor family. I know Corky will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Sincerely, Judi Ross

My most sincere sympathy to you, Patty, and your family. I so enjoyed the time spend with both of you. I know that "Corky" has a special place with God. Perhaps coaching the heavenly football team! My prayers are with you.
