Cornelius loved all his family and friends very much. He loved when people would come and visit so that he could share his love and stories with them.

He loved going to Pow Wows especially the ones in Eufaula where he could share the Native Way with his children and grandchildren.

Dallas Cowboys was his favorite team, but he loved to watch soccer on TV and call it football.

He loved Sofkey, Fry Bread. Lemon cake and Cherry pie. If you showed up with any of these he would smile from ear to ear.

He loved his hometown of Eufaula and would often ride his motorized scooter through town saying hi and waving at people in which he gained the nick name of speedy.

He had a lot of nick names and would always answer to any of them with a smile. Corny, Mack, Pops. and Mac-A-Doo
