There are many memories that Corky and I had together growing up I wouldn't know where to even start but one memory that I have and will always remember is the time Corky lived on the corner of Oliver and Airline when we were in the 7th grade . Now Corky and I knew each other for a few years playing ball against each other even spent the night @ each other's houses before this one faithful night at his house on Oliver . See I thought for years that his name was actually Corky before that one night .Anyhow Corky's mom let out a scream like all mother's do when someone is in trouble or about to be in trouble, she called out Corky's whole name middle name and all . I looked confused looked at Corky said who's she yelling @ ? Corky looked at me said me my reply Henry Joe ? He laughed said yea Burford, not sure what Corky did but the last thing I remember of that night his mom said Jason call your parents to come get you . I called my dad said you're not far just run home so that's what I did . Before leaving Corky's house I wished him good luck .... Corky brother I am going to miss you , love ya brother
