Corky was a nice man, Ed Sullivan and I loved bowling with him. Corky had a quiet reserved attitude which we enjoyed. May Corky go in peace.

Condolences to the family...I have lived across the street from Corky for the past four years and have enjoyed helping him with his shoveling in the midst of winter and just saying hello. He was an extremely polite neighbor and one that will be missed...prayers with his family in this sad time.

My thoughts and prayers go to Corky's family. I have had the pleasure of bowling with him and against him and respected his knowledge and skills. He was a great ambassador for the sport of bowling. The sport could have used a few more like him.
