M.C. "Corky" Corcoran

Corky and I were roommates at the Friendship Skilled Care Center while I recovered from knee surgery in June of this year. We hit it off very well and shared many stories and meals together. He was a great help to me for the 17 days we were together. I enjoyed his wit and the way he could tell a story as to old men had many experiences to share. He was a challenge for some of the staff as he expressed his opinion about his care at times but I truly enjoyed our time together. Rest in peace...

Thanks Corky for your kindness to me and my family during the time we rented your house. I will never forget your food treats for me when I was pregnant and the beautiful Christmas lights you shared with us. That made a difference those years. Rest In Peace Corky.

Corky was a good friend for over 30 years. He was my counselor in 1988 and about a year later, we became backpacking and climbing partner. He photographed me when I proposed to my wife on the top of half dome. He altered the course of my life to the positive and inspired me towards my current profession. Good journey my friend and read your audience up there before you share some of your jokes!!

A pleasure and an honor to be your neighbor and your friend during the Barnum and Bailey years. Ken

Corky, many blessings to you on your next adventures beyond this world. Thank you for your kindness to our family. Lots of love, Nathan
