Geoffrey M. Cornman

I have traveled far and wide since the good ole days on NoVa. And through all those travels, I often find myself thinking back on those people that I was lucky enough to meet and who will always be a part of my life. Some people are too special to ever let go, Geoff is one of those, even if he cannot be with us. My thoughts are with his loved ones and with all of you.

Lots of Love

-Katy

Anyone wondering how to live a life should read these entries. It has been a long time since I have seen Geoff or my other friends from 5th street in No. VA. I mostly remember Geoff smiling and laughing. Such a good person. I have Geoff, his family and all of his loving friends in my thoughts and prayers.

Today we lit a candle in a church in Venice, Italy, in Geoff's memory. He will always shine brightly in our hearts, wherever we are...

Blessings to his family, Carol, Ashton and Grace. You are in our thoughts.

Geoff was an inspiration to us all. When he passed away, I tried to explain it to my daughter with tears in my eyes...I told her that we should learn from Geoff-he is a true example of the way to live life. There is not one thing bad anyone could say about Geoff, everyone liked him! He was a caring, generous, and loving friend to everyone he came into contact with and will be SO missed by all. Carol, Ashton, Grace and the whole Cornman family is in our thoughts and prayers...we're here for you!

I have just read Geoff's obituary in the Washington Post, and I am shocked and saddened to learn of his death. I was a freshman at UVA when Corn was a senior, and he was a major factor in my joining his fraternity. He was a hell of a great guy, and he even gave me the honor of playing third base alongside him at shortstop during our UVA intramural championship run. I am devastated that I did not have the chance to tell him how highly I thought of him in person. My heart aches for Carol and...

It has been almost twenty five years since I saw Geoff, but I can tell you that He was a great guy. I played little league baseball with him, and he always had a great attitude about everything. I knew his parents, and really liked them a lot. My heart goes out to the whole Cornman family. My best always, Andy Burdetsky

I remember three years ago, being freightened by some health issues. I called Geoff to ask some advice. I then received weekly calls from Geoff, to see if I was okay. He never felt sorry for himself, and he cared so much about others.

Dearest Cornman Family and Friends,

Corn - Thanks for always letting me watch from the sidleines. The lessons I have learned from you, all your family and friends are are truly immeasurable !

I recall like yesterday when you and Mike came to our house after the 66 construction jobs and both completely covered in mudd, including your nostrils, all we could see was the whites of your teeth!

You are forever etched in our hearts "Cornbread".

At His Brother’s Funeral


We all have giants in our lives. These are men, and women, who regardless of their physical size, appear to be larger-than-life to the rest of us. For some these people are sports heroes like Cal Ripken or Darrell Green. For others it may be politicians like Kennedy or Eisenhower. Either by their contributions or their personality, these giants have enriched us, taught us valuable lessons, and left permanent marks...
