No matter what post I was on or how the the shift started, the times I had Corky as my wingman, I knew it was going to be a good day no matter what came along. He made the day go by so much easier & faster. He took pride in his work & cared for his people. To my friend Corky, you were like a big brother to me, always someone I could talk & luagh with. May GOD let your soul rest in the peace you so deserve. We will all miss you buddy. Until we meet again.

Corky this one took my by surprise. I can see your child like smile asking why. The answer would be I always thought you would be here until I see u again but God was ready for you so he called u home. I will miss running into and chatting it up with our untruths as we called them. Lol. I miss seeing y at the light blowing and smiling waving hard. The good laughs we had will never be forgotten the look to tell me ur proud of me will always stay embedded. I was proud of you too as I often told you in passing. You went from one extreme to the next with a affectionately smile. Now I say rest on my dear friend.
February 20, 2020
It's amazing how good people, never stay around long. This was a genuine caring man sent from god. He always put others before himself. A true example of a selfless man. He also stood firm in his beliefs, never afraid to stand up for whatever he believed in. Lord, give this family strength to continue on in his absence. Until we meet again, farewell my friend.
