Cornell was the most good-natured person I have met
He was always a joy to be around and genuine
Memories of good times on the docks will always include Cornell
I miss him and remember him well

I'm very sad to hear of Cornell's passing, both because he was a charming elder statesman in his own right, and because his passing takes away from us yet another of an honored generation of the floating home community.

Cornell, my cousin from "the City". I remember when he would come up to the ranch in the summer to help my Dad with the pear harvest . Although I didn't see him often he always held a special place in my heart. He and his sister Marie were my only cousins from my Dad's side of the family so they are both very special to me.

“Cornelly” was a third grandparent to my daughter. She often talks about their “golden hour” walks when she was little and always has felt lucky to have an “extra grandparent”. Cornelly will always be a huge part of who she is and the things she appreciates.

“Uncle Cornelly” was beloved by my children. He came to their birthdays, graduations, performances and more. He loved them and they loved him. He was their bonus Grandpa. Rest In Peace Cornell.
