He was always a wise consul to me.
He was always a friend to me , being tough with the truth but not in action or words.
Had a fun way of bringing you closer to where you belonged.
Later in life he was a beloved friend.
I miss both of them more than I'll let myself dwell on.

I'm gonna miss you a lot Corky.
Big hug and...

Matt, Mitch, and Families:
I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Both your mom and dad hold a special place in my heart and that of my parents. I know my dad always counted him as one of his closest friends. My best to all of you during this time.

Mitch, Matt and Family:
Your Dad will be greatly missed. Dylan and I enjoyed so many great visits with him and your mother. Dylan cried and said he would miss Corky's cookies.
Our thoughts are with you.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Matt, Mitch, Laura and Family,

61 years of friendship with one of the finest persons I've ever known. Haskell Gene will be surely missed by me and my familiy. Corky, in the not too distant future, we will all meet at the big ball park and start all over.

So sorry for your loss. Corkie was a wonderfull high school buddie. Also a wonderfull basket ball player. I can also see Corkie and I playing the sport with my arms always in his face. Corkie was a great team mate as well as a friend. Rest in Peace. See you on the other side for a game of ball.

I was sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Grisso. He was a good man and one of the finest baseball coaches I have ever known. I will never forget the two years I played for Mr. Grisso and the Newark National Senior Royals.

Matt, Mitch and Family - So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was always such a joy to see in the neighborhood. Many great memories with all of the Grisso family. God Bless, The Bihl Family
