I had just heard of Joe's passing about a week ago. Please accept my most sincere sympathy and prayers for all your family. I graduated with Joe from Norwalk High in 1951. The last time I had had seen him was at our 55th reunion and was looking forward to our 60th next year. He will always be remembered by me as a wonderful human being and I'm very proud to have known him.

Dear Ellen and "girls" My sincerest condolences for the passing of a great and honorable man. Even as his daughter's neighbor I was able to experience first-hand the life he brought to every party. I (and my sister!)are proud owners of "Doc Corey bottle openers"!
May he rest in peace and may your heavy hearts be gladdened by his perpetual love.

Dear Corey Family:
Joe and I served together at Seoul Military Hospital, 1968-69. What a great guy and what an exemplary physician he was! I have great memories of those days, but they did not always seem wonderful then! My wife Betty joins me in extending to you all our most sincere condolences.

My sincerest thoughts to the Corey family. I first met Dr Corey at Shorehaven Golf Club as a caddy. It was my pleasure to have caddied for such a down to earth person. Dr.Piro who I also admired much was often his golf partner. I can only thank God for allowing me the priveledge of meeting two people with a eveness of disposition, and always pleasantness of voice. Dr. Corey was a joy to know. I know he is in heaven. It hurts me to know he has passed on. My thoughts and prayers are with your...
