Patrick Corp was a wonderful person and doctor. He truly cared for his patients. He helped me through a hard time in my life and I will always be greatful for that. I know there is a special spot in heaven just for him. I am greatful to have met him, I hope he is now at peace.

I wanted to write everyone and thank them for the cards, thoughts, words and prayers sent to Dr. Corp's family. I had the priviledge and honor of experiencing Patrick's love for over seven years. He talked often of his compassion and caring for his patients and most of all, the love for his children. He fought hard with all of his will and might these past eight months. But that was my baby, my love, my life. I miss him terribly and I know he is no longer suffering and watching over all of us. We will all miss him, my "little pumpkin head".

We are so sorry for your family’s loss of a father, brother, son and grandpa. He was none of those names to me or to many others who now mourn for him, but he led many of us to a “good life,” one that is so much more purposeful and peaceful than how we lived before finding him. Even though he has not been gone very long, I already miss him so much. I just cannot get my head or heart around the fact that I will never again hear his soothing voice.

Even though Dr. Pat’s specialty was child psychiatry, he also had a special place in his heart for those with a dual diagnosis. I met him in December of 1999 at Flower Hospital, a quirk of fate (?), and I am certain he was sent by God to save my life at that time. He became very special to me (and thus also to Red, my husband) since that meeting. I was one of his patients to participate in the very first dual diagnosis group meeting that he instituted at Goodlife in the early part of 2000, and that meeting became a vital source of help and comfort to me. The last meeting of our group was on Tuesday, April 17, although no one knew it at that time. That day he said that, if he had enough time, he would still like to write a book ... about his method of treating dually diagnosed individuals. I hope that someone does carry on with his treatment concepts, as they are truly a significant step forward from what is the norm today.

Thankfully he truly believed that the world can become a better place, one person at a time, and he "practiced what he preached." His establishment of Goodlife, and the concept to which it relates, attests to that. He spent his life helping others ... even after being diagnosed with cancer in late 2006, he continued to unselfishly help others until he was absolutely unable to do so.

Our lives have been changed forever because we knew him, and they will never be quite the same since he has left us. May he rest in peace.

I was out of town until May 7, and just found out the Dr. Corp passed away from the letter that was sent. I am truly in shock. He was a wonderful man. My son and I were his patients for a few years. He will be deeply missed.

For the family and friends of Dr. Patrick Corp. I was a long time patient of Dr. Corp. He helped me cross a lot of bridges in my life that I could have never made on my own. When I needed to pour my heart out to someone that I could trust, that wouldn't laugh at me or repeat what I said when I left about what was hurting me so much. He was there for me. He was always so careing. I can't imagine the hurt you all must be going threw from his loss.I know I am truly going to miss him. My name and phone # is in the phone book. call me anytime if you just need someone to talk to. My heart and prayers will always be with him and his family. May God always Bless you all. With love and careing Grace Kiser

I have been a patient of Dr. Pat's for about 8 yrs.I am truely shocked and saddened to hear that he is gone.I could tell that he was sick,but from what I saw the last time I saw him he looked better.He helped me through my depression(which is why I was seeing him.)and my bout with cancer. We both talked about bowling and golf for which we both loved to do. I feel blessed to have known Dr. Pat, for not only the help he gave me, but for his friendship that he gave me. I truely enjoyed my visits with him, in fact I looked forward to them. We talked about families quite a bit, and I know by what he told me. He took great pleasure in the time he spent with his grandchildren and the rest of his family. I also know that he was very loyal to his school, the "Cow College" as it is known in Lansing. "Go State!!" I will truely miss my friend,as I am sure we all will. My thoughts and prayers are with you his family and his many friends. I will miss him greatly.

I was so devastated when I heard about Dr.Corp. I saw him 3 weeks before his death. I ask him how are you feeling Dr. Corp. I knew he was really sick, He replyed to me very weak. I told him, please take care of yourself. There is a lot of people that really need you. He said I know, just pray for me. For the first time in over 20 years of seeing him as my Dr. he leaned over and gave me a Hug. He was so weak and frail, I left the office crying with a feeling I wouldn't see him again. He helped me get threw so much, The death of my Mother, 2 sisters, and a neice all to cancer. The loss of my first granddaughter and A divorce after 32 years of marrage. He never forgot to ask me about my children. He was a true friend as well as a Dr. to me. To replace him will be impossable, I will always remember him and our talks. He was a good man. I will miss him very much.

I have known Dr. Corp for more than 15 years. I saw the caring he showed for his patients. I saw him take the time to talk with patients that were not his, but needed to talk to someone at that time. I later saw him as a patient for a number of years. He was the most compasionate and understanding Dr. I knew he was ill but I expected him to get better. He truly loved his family and spoke of them often. My prayers are with you all. I will miss our talks.

When calling the office to check on my appointment time the I was shocked and saddened to learn of Dr. Corps death. I was his patient for over 10 years. I always left his office feeling better.

My daughter was a patient of Dr. Corp's for over 7 years. During those years he gave her his time, gentleness, patience, soft voice and understanding that helped her through alot of difficulties. He was her friend not just a doctor. He will be missed by so many in the community. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

On Monday, prior to learning that Dr. Corp left this world we reside on, I sensed an overwhelming sadness. Tuesday afternnon I received a voicemail to call his office and returned it. I then learned that my appointment for June would not happen and to cancel my flight for he passed away. The bereavment felt like I lost a close family member. I shed a tear but needed to return back to work and fought not to let my patients see those tears of sorrow. On the way home after work that evening, I cried and prayed for those of us left behind. Over the past six years he helped my family and I by sharing his impeccable wisdom. I will no longer cry for he earned wings to heaven and one day I know we will meet again. I truly admired that man and feel privileged for the opportunity of learning from him for he positively impacted the lives of my children and me. He spoke highly of his family and I felt his love for you all. I will keep each of you in my prayers.

Sincere Condolences

We are so sorry for your loss.

Dr. Corp took care of my Mother, Aunt, Uncle, and was still taking care of my niece & myself. We have known Dr.Corp for so MANY Years that we felt he was part of our family.

He loved to teach, and loved to learn and he still had so much to give to his family and patients.

His eyes would just light up when he would talk about his children and I loved to hear about the vacations they went on together.

He is in a better place and I believe his spirit will be with his family and patients all the time.

Our prayers are with you and your families.

With Great Sympathy!

Eight years ago I met a man with so much character and love in his heart most people could only dream of having. That mans name was Dr. Patrick Corp. He saw I was having troubles dealing with ADD. I was near the edge. I thought something was wrong with me. I truely believed I was damaged goods. My job and family life was failing. Dr. Corp turned all that around for me. He taught me that just because my brain functions differently doesn't make me damaged, it makes me better. He helped me to like who I am and to use my ADD to reach goals I never thought I could. Within one year of meeting him my marriage was thriving and I was moved up to Maintenance Supervisor of a Fortune 500 company. Not bad for someone who thought they were worthless.
Most Doctors have to develop a trust base but as soon as you met Dr. Corp it was there. He wasn't one to sugar coat anything....You knew what he was thinking and what he was thinking was 9 times out of 10...RIGHT! If you were in a crowded room he would make you feel like you were the most important person he had ever talked to.
When I first saw his office my first thought was ...WHAT A SPORTS NUT. I soon realized he was a PATIENT NUT. He genuinely cared for EACH and EVERYONE of us. I could write so much more about how he helped myself and others that I had referred to him but I just want his family and Brenda to know the long hours were not in vain. HE REACHED PEOPLE! What a gift he had! I consider
myself blessed and so very honored to have known him. I hope this helps you to know he helped so many in so short a time. My Family and I would like extend our deepest sympathy to Brenda and the Corp family. Most people don't meet a man like Dr. Corp in there life time but we fortunate few have.

I am so sorry. We are all going to miss him terribly. He was such a wise, intelligent, insightful, kind, patient, and humble man. I know your dad loved you all very much. It took us many years to find someone like him. We only had the privilege of being one of his clients for 2 years, but he had helped us so much. He will never be forgotten and I know he is watching over all of you.

We feel fortunate to have had him in our lives. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Although I was only a patient of Dr. Corp's for a little over a year, I feel as though I knew him for much longer. He was the only doctor in his field whom I ever felt really had a handle on the situation. Regardless of the issues at hand, he always had the right answer and could put things into perspective quite nicely. I sincerelly regret that I was not able to spend more time with him in life, as he was full of a wealth of knowledge, to an extent which I can't even begin to comprehend. I thank his family for sharing such a wise man with the rest of us, as I owe him a debt of gratitude. God bless.

I found out that Dr. Corp had passed away when calling to reschedule an appointment. He began treating me after a six year battle with depression had reached a dangerous stalemate; within 30 minutes of meeting me he was talking to me about my illness on a deeper level than anyone before him. He was truly brilliant as a physician.

As an allied health student, I was able to appreciate his skill as a teacher. He was able to explain complex ideas in terms that I was able to fully understand, and I was able to observe his interactions with a couple of student observers during my appointments with him. While he was an incredible doctor, I believe his role as a teacher of doctors is going to be most missed. He will continue to touch countless lives through those he has mentored.

To Dr. Corp's family: You have been truly blessed to have him in your life, and I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you for encouraging him to share his gifts with us.

God bless Dr. Corp and his family during this very sad time and beyond. Patty Ferguson & Nick.

Dr. Corp and I met at an Eppstien-Barre support meeting about 11 years ago. He was the first and only person to totally explain the disease to me. I chased him down after the meeting, and he was most gracious about it. See, this disease disabled me; and it seemed that there was nowhere for me to go. How could I know then that it would be the beginning of a long road that he would join me on as my doctor. In time, he would take care of my little boy who was diagnosed with Asperger's Autism; and my 13 year old girl who suffers disabling depression and addh. He brought me through disabling depression of my own and numerous chronic physical illness. One recent day
he spent over an hour with us filling out my daughter's school papers so that she may get the help
she desperately needed; taking care of us~~~but the special thing is~~eventhough his strength was becoming spent, HE TOOK GREAT JOY in doing it that day. What he did that day will make a huge difference in my daughter's life forever. Please take comfort in knowing absolutely that Dr. Corp has left his legacy in each of these children and adults that he has helped. If I can think of one word that; as an RN, mother, and patient would describe him, I would say gracious is a prominent one. He was full of grace, and that is a very rare quality. He was the guy with the answers; and the great thing is; if he didn't have any, he made it a point to find them. If he couldn't find them, he had a way of helping people hold on until they could be found and inspiring faith for quality of life. Thank you for sharing him with us. We had many conversations about spirituality. Bless Dr. Corp on his journey. Bless his family and friend's on their own.

To Dr Corps' family and loved ones,

My 8-year old daughter,Sydney, was referred to Dr. Corp by Kellie Payne-Schramm a little over a year ago. I can't tell you how much we appreciated he and Kellie for their help at a time where we felt that our pediatricians could/were not able to help Syd at all. He helped me see that in kids, little things can grow into big things. He was so gentle and funny and kind to Sydney. We always left there with a smile.
We are truly sorry for your loss. Even in the few times we met with him he spoke highly of his kids often using you as examples. You were obviously his world.
In addition, the medical community has also suffered a huge loss as he helped many learn how to manage pyschiatry in a world where this is needed more than ever. He will be missed, but his contributions will not be forgotten.
As a Christian, I believe he his out of his pain and will live on.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Respectfully,
The Hutchinson Family

Dr. Corp was THE finest Psychiatrist I have ever encountered. He saw 2 of our daughters for several years and took on 2 adult sons as well as myself and husband in the last couple of years, even though children were his specialty and passion. He has given us so much incite into ourselves and the world we live in.
We have a deep respect and love for this man and cannot imagine how difficult this time is for family, staff and collegues. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We take comfort in knowing that Dr. Corp has gone to a far better place.

Dr Corp made be realize that we must live each day for whatever it brings because our destiny has already been determined, whether it be fair or not. I have only been his patient for a short period of time, but he made be believe that you must smile and be happy for each day that goes by. Sometimes we do not have choices to make. There will always be a special place in my heart for Dr. Corp, for he has opened a pathway for me, I can see clearly now. My heart goes out for the greatest loss, "your father, your spouse, and your best friend".

Patrick Corp M.D. Left as a fighter.
Patrick was a caring physician considerate of his patients and through his approach he was well respected by his colleagues, and loved by his patients.
Dr. Patrick Corp was an officer of North West Ohio Psychiatric Association and helped us at the state and national level contacts and meetings being active and involved to the last minute.
I had the privilege working with Patrick for many years in cross coverage of cases and addressing dilemmas in our practice and profession and I was impressed with his dedication, commitment, and empathy.

He’ll be missed by all.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We are very sorry to hear of your loss. It is also a great loss for us as my son was a patient of Dr. Corp's for the past 1 1/2 years and he has helped him a great deal. Dr. Corp was very kind and caring and knowledgable. We just saw him about a month ago and I could see that he was not feeling well then and the time before, but this never stopped him from taking care of my son. We will miss him very much and we will never be able to find a better physician than he, but I hope we come close. With deepest sympathy.
