I was deeply saddened when I heard of Al's passing. I worked with Big Al for many years. I would see Al multiple times
throughout the day picking up some material from the warehouse for some hot job and he would say "Thanks
Murphy and Have a good day".
Al was a hard worker and a gentleman that always had a
kind word to say.
Rest in Peace my friend.

To extended Corey family, condolences, condolence not being enough. Al is an example of devotion to a work ethic that is seldom found in todays demanding defense work place. The short retirement that he was given to Al is not equal to the harsh environment that E.B.C. took advantage of during his tenure of 44 years. Many people give themselves to supporting the security of our country WITH Albert Buddington Corey III being one of the best of them. More was taken than received.
