Not sure what to say?

One of the finest we've ever had the opportunity to cross paths with. So grateful for that. We so appreciate the opportunity to be of help to you and Sheila. I will miss making you your eggs, grapefruit and "well done" toast. You were a true gentleman. You were always so gracious. And the love for your wife and daughters always shined through. Blessings to Sheila, Susan, Sally and the grandkiddos. xoxoxo

We meet a lot of people in our lives, and if we are very lucky we get to know someone like Gary. I always admired him for his genuine kindness and honesty. This world is deminished by his passing,and it hurts my heart to think of the pain his family is going through. I think he would want everyone to remember how he impacted our lives and the positive way we should carry on the kindness he always gave to others.

I will remember him every time I look at the art he and Sally gave me...

A true gentleman in every sense of the word. Principled, Fair, Honest, Humble, Loyal, Humorous, Kind...there are simply not enough good words to use to describe Gary Corbin. I have looked up to him since I was about 7 years old. He made a lasting impact on the world and his legacy lives on in his daughters and grandsons and all others that he mentored. The world is better because he lived in it and it is a shame that he is gone at only 77 years of age.

My sincere condolences to Sheila, Sally, Susan & family at this most difficult time. I will always remember the respect Gary showed me as a young sixteen yr old who probably didnt deserve the respect he showed. He was the most kind, genuine man I have known.

God bless you,
David Knoodle

Sheila and family,

Sorry to hear of Gary's passing. We enjoyed having you as our neighbors in Grand Blanc and thought of you often through the years. We are still living there. Gary lived a great life and it was obvious most important to him was his family and service to others. Prayers and blessings to all of you.

Condolences to the Corbin family and friends. I covered Gary's political career from its beginning. He was a good man and a sincere public servant...a credit to his family and his community. Rest In Peace, Senator Corbin.

Not often have I volunteered for those who ran for political office. Gary was an exception for me because he was an honorable man and genuine public servant guided by sincere and lofty values. My condolences to the family. Harold Ford

Sorry to hear about Gary and our great loss here on earth. He has finally received the eternal reward that he deserved so much after serving so many of us through multiple venues to make our lives better. Gary never lost sight of true north and he will always be remembered and admired as we continue the work that he laid the foundation for us to build upon.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. He was a good man.
