Chaplain Cherry was very special to my family, a great part of our years at the Presidio, when he and my dad Bud Wilson were golfing buddies. I admired and respected him greatly! I'm thankful I got to visit with him as an adult, and to speak to him in recent years by phone. To his daughter and family, he was a blessing to all he met. Thank you for sharing him with us all.

Just last year, I had the good fortune to listen and speak with Chaplain Cherry. He shared his career story with members of First United Methodist Church. He was a remarkable gentleman and an inspiration to us all. He is a true hero!

Donna, we were so sad to hear about Your Dad's passing! We were attending Bethany Methodist Church in Winsteadville when Corbin was pastoring there. In 1964 he performed our wedding ceremony. We have so many good memories during that time. He will be missed by so many people. May God keep you and your family especially close during this sad time.
