I have traveled far and wide since the good ole days on NoVa. And through all those travels, I often find myself thinking back on those people that I was lucky enough to meet and who will always be a part of my life. Some people are too special to ever let go, Geoff is one of those, even if he cannot be with us. My thoughts are with his loved ones and with all of you.
Lots of Love
-Katy

Anyone wondering how to live a life should read these entries. It has been a long time since I have seen Geoff or my other friends from 5th street in No. VA. I mostly remember Geoff smiling and laughing. Such a good person. I have Geoff, his family and all of his loving friends in my thoughts and prayers.

Today we lit a candle in a church in Venice, Italy, in Geoff's memory. He will always shine brightly in our hearts, wherever we are...
Blessings to his family, Carol, Ashton and Grace. You are in our thoughts.

Geoff was an inspiration to us all. When he passed away, I tried to explain it to my daughter with tears in my eyes...I told her that we should learn from Geoff-he is a true example of the way to live life. There is not one thing bad anyone could say about Geoff, everyone liked him! He was a caring, generous, and loving friend to everyone he came into contact with and will be SO missed by all. Carol, Ashton, Grace and the whole Cornman family is in our thoughts and prayers...we're here for you!

I have just read Geoff's obituary in the Washington Post, and I am shocked and saddened to learn of his death. I was a freshman at UVA when Corn was a senior, and he was a major factor in my joining his fraternity. He was a hell of a great guy, and he even gave me the honor of playing third base alongside him at shortstop during our UVA intramural championship run. I am devastated that I did not have the chance to tell him how highly I thought of him in person. My heart aches for Carol and the girls.

It has been almost twenty five years since I saw Geoff, but I can tell you that He was a great guy. I played little league baseball with him, and he always had a great attitude about everything. I knew his parents, and really liked them a lot. My heart goes out to the whole Cornman family. My best always, Andy Burdetsky

I remember three years ago, being freightened by some health issues. I called Geoff to ask some advice. I then received weekly calls from Geoff, to see if I was okay. He never felt sorry for himself, and he cared so much about others.

Dearest Cornman Family and Friends,
Corn - Thanks for always letting me watch from the sidleines. The lessons I have learned from you, all your family and friends are are truly immeasurable !
I recall like yesterday when you and Mike came to our house after the 66 construction jobs and both completely covered in mudd, including your nostrils, all we could see was the whites of your teeth!
You are forever etched in our hearts "Cornbread".

Remarks of Whit Cornman
At His Brother’s Funeral
We all have giants in our lives. These are men, and women, who regardless of their physical size, appear to be larger-than-life to the rest of us. For some these people are sports heroes like Cal Ripken or Darrell Green. For others it may be politicians like Kennedy or Eisenhower. Either by their contributions or their personality, these giants have enriched us, taught us valuable lessons, and left permanent marks on our lives for which we are all the better.
For me, Geoff Cornman was one of those giants. I spent my youth looking up to Geoff, my older and for many years much taller brother. Yet even as I caught up to him in height—and exceeded him in girth—I still always felt as if my head tilted upward to meet his eyes whenever we were together.
Throughout our lives, he taught me valuable lessons, starting in our youth—which some would say lasted until our 30s. Among these lessons were:
--A wet-willy is much more effective when administered by surprise. Although can be fun for the administer even if they are expected.
--With the right pressure and placement of the thumb and forefinger, the pea pods in beans make an excellent and accurate projectile.
--Flatulence is funny.
--The proper way to apply a nuggie, is with a slightly raised middle knuckle applied aggressively to the center of the head.
--A car with no reverse gear can still be parallel-parked by putting the car in neutral, opening the drive-side door, extending your left foot and pushing backwards. (Please don’t try this at home.)
--No matter what you are selling, whether its raffle tickets for the little league team, or pots and pans as part of a summer job, you can always count on Mom and Dad for at least one sale.
While these and other lessons were well taught, well learned and honestly in some cases still well practiced, they did not leave marks that would be considered permanent. Those are lessons Geoff left for other things.
In sports, I learned from watching Geoff that no matter the score, or how bad the team you’re playing on may be doing, you don’t give up. You play ever ground ball, take every at bat, and make every jump shot as if the game were on the line.
As with his loyalty to his sports teams, Geoff was loyal to his friends. There was almost nothing he would do or any distance he would travel to help celebrate an important occasion or to be a comfort in a time of need.
I learned from Geoff that there is always time for laughter. He was well known for his humor and somehow found a way to make almost anybody crack up in hysterics. He had a special talent for telling jokes that would make even the most politically correct among us laugh even
though we knew we should be offended.
Geoff was a successful businessman because he exuded confidence and personal appeal. I learned that with this combination, it’s possible to do almost anything.
Above all Geoff was a loving husband and a caring father. This leaves us with his most important lesson of all—to cherish the things that are the most important in life.
There are other many more ways we can remember Geoff and the marks he left on our lives. There was Geoff the Redskins fan, Geoff the fraternity brother, Geoff the golfer, Geoff the mentor, Geoff the Godfather, Geoff the cousin, nephew, brother, and son.
No matter how we remember Geoff or what lesson he has taught us, I think it would be fair to say that he is one of the rare but special giants whose presence will always be a part of our lives and from whom we can draw inspiration.
For my part, Geoff will always be my older and much taller brother. And I think in many ways my head will always look upward when I think of him.

Remarks of Jennifer Cornman
At Her Brother’s Funeral
I was trying to figure out what to say today and didn’t know where to start or what to say. There is so much that could be said about my brother, but I only have a few minutes and I know that he would want me to keep it short.
I want to talk about Geoff’s generosity, which so many of you talked about when we saw each other yesterday. Geoff is one of the most generous, caring, and sincere people who always thought about others before himself.
When Geoff was in the 4th grade, a neighborhood boy who was in kindergarten wouldn’t get on the school bus because there were no seats available. His mom called my mom and asked if Geoff would help her son out. The next day when they got to the boy’s bus stop, Geoff called out to him and gave him his seat. From that day on, the boy had no problems riding the school bus.
At Christmas time, when driving up to see our cousins in Philadelphia, Geoff would often take flowers to the toll booth attendants because he felt badly that anyone would have to be working in a toll booth on Christmas.
At several family weddings, many of which occurred before he left my parents’ house, he would meet new people and tell them that if they were ever in Washington, they should come and stay with us at my parents house. And he meant it every time.
When he and Carol bought their house, he told me that he wanted to buy a big house so that they could have lots of people over to treat them to great parties and have them share in their good fortune.
Even as recently as a month ago, he was adamant about scheduling his surgery until after Whit’s wedding so that he could be Whit’s best man.
I don’t believe that Geoff did any of these things, or the millions of other things he did for us, because he felt he had to. He did them because that is who he was, and because we are remembering him now, this is who he still is.
What Geoff taught me is that life isn’t about any one of us alone. It’s about all of us together and how we care and do the big and little things for those we know and love and even for those we don’t know so well. If we want to remember and honor Geoff we should take care of each other, in both the big and small ways, so that Geoff won’t have to worry about that anymore.
It’s clear from the number of people who are here today that he touched so many lives. We are who we are because we knew Geoff. In the same way Geoff is who he is because we were all in his life.
I am proud of my big brother and proud to be Geoff Cornman’s sister.

Ahhh... tears are streaming down my face as I write this...Geoff-one of the good ol' boys is really gone. I had the pleasure of knowing Geoff (and that whole gang of guys he comes with!) in college and the few years after. My immediate image of him is with a beer in his hand and a sort of sneaky smile on his face like he was ready to pull a prank on someone (most likely Paul) any minute. My heart goes out to Carol and the children however for what it's worth I KNOW she is surrounded by such a strong network of friends and family that so loved Geoff. Talk about great friends-anyone who can write (and I'm sure sing) as eloquently as Colleen and MD shows that exact point- well not the singing on MD's part - :)

"It's not Goodbye"
Thinkin’ back…
Oh I laugh…
Me and the boys
Man… we had a blast!
So many truly good friends
Bonds made early last ‘til the end
You’ve been there for the journey
And you’ll see me ‘round the bend
It’s not goodbye
I’ll take you with me
The image of your face
Every memory
I’ll be watching
While I’m in God’s care
I will be everywhere
Close your eyes…
And you’ll feel me…
Ashton and Grace…
I’m in such a good place
Please keep a smile
On your beautiful face
Wherever you go
I hope you will know
Though you can’t be with me
I will see you grow
It’s not goodbye
I’ll take you with me
The image of your face
Every memory
I’ll be watching
While I’m in God’s care
I will be everywhere
Close your eyes…
And you’ll feel me…
Love of my life…
Best friend and wife
You were my rock
Light in the night
And when you feel alone
Like you’ve lost all you’ve ever known
Remember – I’ll be waiting
When it’s your turn to come home…
It’s not goodbye
I’ll take you with me
The image of your face
Every memory
I’ll be watching
While I’m in God’s care
I will be everywhere
Close your eyes…
And you’ll feel me…
Mom and Dad…
Jen and Whit don’t be sad
I’ve had more in my life
Than some will ever have
You know that it’s because of you
I’ve lived a life that’s rich & full
You set me out into this world
And it’s been beautiful!
It’s not goodbye
I’ll take you with me
The image of your face
Every memory
I’ll be watching
While I’m in God’s care
I will be everywhere
Close your eyes…
And you’ll feel me…

Remarks made by Mike Doherty at the Westwood Country Club Reception following Geoff Cornman's services on Friday July 16th, 2004
Before I start, I wanted to first acknowledge the Cornman Families: Jack, Donna, Whitney & Jennifer as well as Carol, Ashton, Grace and their family network of support here today.
These events over the last two (2) days (which I'm sure will continue on well in the weekend and beyond) have helped all of us rekindle old friendships as well as help say “Good Bye” to one of those friends we all truly loved.
I wanted to say “Thank You” to the Cornman Families for putting these events together at a time that I'm sure must have been very difficult for you – especially over these last two weeks.
“A Tribute to a Friend”
Good Afternoon - For those who might not know me – My name is “Mike Doherty” and have been friends with Geoff since the early days of high school (about 25 years now). My friends call me “MD” - But Geoff, “affectionately” likes to call me “DUFFY” or “DUFF” for short. I like to call him “CORNBREAD” or just “CORN” for short.
I have been very blessed to have a dozen or so life long friends – many of them here today!
Like Carol to Geoff, I have also been very blessed to have a loving partner in my life who has shared and challenged my spirituality in ways I could have never imagined. Her name is Annie McHale and unfortunately Annie could be with us today - But I know she is with us all right now, as is Geoff.
Annie and I had the great fortune to spend the weekend with Geoff, Carol and his family & friends last fall for a Redskins Football Weekend. The weather was spectacular and the events included a First Class Tailgate, Post Game Victory Celebration, and many other joyous get togethers throughout the fun filled weekend. It was the first time I had brought Annie back to my hometown since moving to San Diego and the start of our five (5) year relationship. She was truly amazed to meet so many wonderful guys, their wives and their families. During that weekend, she reminded me how special our bond of friendship really is. Today we celebrate that friendship as well as the passing of one of them - Geoffrey “Cornbread” Cornman.
When I heard about Geoff's passing, I grieved in standard traditional ways - MUCH sadness, MANY tears, and a LARGE sense of loss. Annie, being the supportive partner that she is, did her best to console an Extra-Large, Stubborn, Virginia, Male. And one who rarely shows his emotions, especially when it involves LOSS and SORROW. When Annie wasn't making much head way consoling me (which happens often), she did the next best thing which typically works in these situations - she sat down and wrote me a letter!
I'd like to share some of that letter with you now ....
“Good morning, Honey,”
“After talking with you last night, I sat in front of the laptop and just started writing. About death, about compassion, and about coping with loss of a close friend beyond the funeral. When I give my soul time to think, I realized that it's events like this that actually deepen my spirituality, and my views on death and dying change considerably.
I choose to leave the darkness and move towards the light.
I choose to see beyond the physical existence and embrace the unknown.
And, I choose to do this with an absolute faith in an all-encompassing, all-knowing, and all-loving God.”
After reading her note, I had a new mindset about this experience we are all currently going through now. My thoughts about this loss, turned from Darkness to Light, from Sorrow to Comfort, and from Tears to Smiles.
“DEATH” - The word itself seems terribly dark, ominous, and unyielding. It instinctively summons feelings of fear, pain, and the kind of heartache reserved especially for occasions like this. When we are touched by death, it wants to consume us entirely, swallow us whole and eat us up. It physically controls our bodies with irrepressible tears, shock, numbness, and perhaps worst of all a vulnerability that threatens our very core. It’s the finality of it all that seems too much to bear.
As I continue to search for answers, it is now that I realize that it's the occasions like this that reminds us of the oh-so-wondrous blessings of “LIFE.” In mourning the death of a loved one, we have the opportunity to see the beauty that remains. Especially in Carol, Ashton and Grace. It’s all right here. It’s all right now. And it's for all to see. The beauty of life that was and the beauty of the life that still is!
Family and friends come together from all points to celebrate what this man meant to them and the lives that he has deeply affected. Support is given in the simplest and the grandest forms. It's that common thread of gratitude and sorrow that is weaved into a beautiful heirloom for Geoff’s family and friends to remember. This remembrance is what unites us in the thankfulness of Geoff’s life on earth and beyond.
Imagine! Imagine the life of a man who merits this grieving. My response to his transition clearly indicates how much he has meant to me. Our friendship is aged, tried and etched into my soul everlasting.
Geoff, you contributed to me and you continue to contribute to us. You helped me become a better friend, but equally important you showed me how to accept friendship. Though your mortal presence maybe gone, you continue to bring depth and meaning to my own existence.
We have chosen to mourn you today, to let the tears fall freely, and imagine a life in your absence. As we gather here together to share our grief with others who knew and loved you, we receive the gift of comfort in hugs, expressions of sorrow and in laughter of times past. But remember, how blessed we are capable of this grieving. Therein lies the beauty. It is everywhere, in all its magnificent glory if you choose to notice it. It's an undeniable, uncontainable expression of love. For one courageous man whose spirit now exists in an even grander form, and in us as humans beings consoling, reaching out in an attempt to heal and be healed. In his passing, Geoff has even enriched our lives yet again. In his storm’s midst, blossoms emerge!
And by the way, do not doubt whether the last “thank you,” the last “I love you,” or the last “goodbye” was ever heard? IT WAS. And finally, I promise you this - Geoff will continue to grace our lives until our time as come. I hope you find comfort and peace as we go through this experience together.
God Blessed You Corn!

Two Hearts One Story
You began the basis of our love
Leading compassion and an ear for dismay
Your humor brought a bond to our hearts
As the tears disappeared and the happiness grew
Our pictures started to form as a
Glimpse of the future included each other
You let my heart meet the fragile hearts of your friends
And share in the fun
Your Christmas surprise glistened with a sparkle of hope
And warmth for the holidays to come
Our vows were exchanged while the blooms
Arrived and the family was joined
Blessed twice with the miracle of life created a house
Made of pink and smiles of joy
Your tickles of daddy love resulted in laughter and happiness
Faith shared with the love of God created the strength to endure
The unacceptable and paint the visions of hope
A symbol of water cleansed our sprits and renewed our eternal happiness
Your consistency to keep the norm and keep me safe
Secured my heart and kissed my soul
Selflessness of your desire drove my inspiration to be more like you
You are my pro, my champion, I have won the tournament of life
Regardless of my future, my understanding of my destiny has become
Clear as you make my world complete
You are my kiss of friendship, love and life, I give you my heart
And my soul for our lifetime of love once again
Thank you my love, for making two hearts one story.
~My heart always,
Tom Wolfe

Geoff Cornman was one of those rare, extraordinary people that we encounter in our lives. He impacted everyone he knew in a positive way. We were good-time friends, and good times we had. The tears we shed now were greatly outnumbered by the laughs we had in days past. Geoff was one of the most intelligent, generous, and caring people I have ever known, and I am proud and grateful to have been one of his friends. Unfortunately, it takes an event like this to remind us all of the incredible gifts we have been given in our lives, and how we should cherish and appreciate them everyday.

Geoff and I had lost touch over the years, but I had a great visit in '02 with him, Murph, Erik and MD. It was a good day-once we quit trying to break into his neighbors house thinking it was his; and as I had remembered, he was relaxed and easy going, quick to laugh and share his good humor about his friends and family. I reflected on that good day about the time when we had first met-I had mistakenly understood that his name was Geoff Gonzaga, and how I thought it was so cool that he went to a high school that shared his name and how great it must be to have your last name all over the sports equipment-he let me ride on that one until I saw his initials in his ballcap a few weeks later-and he insisted that I keep calling him "Gonzaga", which I did.
To his marvelous credit, he lived his life wisely and well in his time with us, and I will mourn for him and send his family and friends my heartfelt sympathies from afar-

I will never forget answering the phone at my dads house the day of my mom's funeral. Geoff was on the other line calling from his hospital bed just to check on us and to tell us how sorry he was about mom. Such a caring and thoughtful person. I am so sorry for your loss.

Although having met Geoff only once on a whirlwind weekend trip to DC with my wonderful partner, Mike Doherty, he and his family have been in my thoughts since. True, through Mike's story-telling I have come to know the "group" quite intimately, but during my one-time meeting with Geoff and Carol, I knew I was in the presence of something wonderful. Their connection was of the sort reserved for and known only to old souls.
Life was good to Geoff and he understood that, embracing it with incredible passion. His commitment to his wife, his daughters, and his friends was transparent. The ease with which he approached life was refreshing, and made me realize that it needn't be so difficult, nor taken so seriously.
Carol, you are a very special soul to have been chosen to ride alongside Geoff on this journey. Your commitment, dedication, and strength are commendable, and for Geoff, I am happy that you were by his side. You will continue to grow from this incredible opportunity presented to you, and for that, you will always have the admiration and respect of all who know you.
Thank you both, Geoff and Carol, for being my spiritual reminders. My thoughts and prayers are with you, today and always.
Blessings

My heart is so sad. While reading these entries, the song "When you only have a hundred years to live" came on. I feel Geoff lived life a hundred years in the very short 40 years he was here with us. I feel so blessed to have known him. Though I have not see him in many years, I would always hear about the "guys" from my brother Michael (MD). What fun you all have had thru the years. My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to his family, friends and to all who loved him. His smile, wit, generosity, wisdom and humanity will never be forgotten.

What does one say at a time like this? I guess you just follow your heart and gut - and say what comes to mind. Geoff was a great person and a kind and gentle man. My thoughts changed once I had the chance to read this guest book. It showed me that a mans worth is not determined by the "toys" he/she has collected at the end of the day - but by the number of friends that he has to share them with. I only can remember good things about this wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends, family and loved ones. He will be missed! I am glad that I had the opportunity to be touched by his grace - a true gentleman.

Carol, Ashton and Grace,
I worked for Geoff for 3 years before my husband and I moved to Howard County to start our family and, although I'm sure he wanted to drop-kick me (;-)) sometimes, I considered Geoff a real friend and a wonderful person to work with and for. Girls, your Daddy always had your beautiful pictures displayed in his office and was so proud of you. Carol, I can't tell you how sad I am for you and how sorry for your loss. I won't ever think of my years with PRISM without thinking of my friend Geoff.

It is so hard to sum up 25 years of memories in such a small space but I will try to mention a few of the things I will remember about Geoff.
I remember how he helped me and Nick tie up Paul in the recliner on 5th Street. I remember how in 20 minutes flat he could have the Sunday paper covering the entire basement floor. I remember when he put shaving cream on the ear piece of our phone and told me I had a call. I remember when and why he had to take one of his buddies to the emergency room during the poor guys bachelor party. I remember the running battle he had with my brother over who had the worst hair. I remember when he helped me set up a Brady Bunch style Ghost in Paul's room. I remember Easters Week with him at UVA. I remember being his catcher for 100s of innings while playing for East Coast Express. I remember how much crap he gave me when he beat me in fantasy football. I remember the parties, card games and good times we spent when we all got married and began to have kids. Most of all I will remember what a great friend he was.
Until we meet again my friend,
Jimbo

My thoughts and prayers are with the Cornmans at this sad time. While I only knew Geoff from one or two meetings I remember the youthful vigor and excitement of his personality. I seem to recall having a spirited talk with him about "Redskin" football and life in D.C. Having lived briefly at the Cornman residence I know how wonderful Jack and Donna are. That they have raised a great family could come as no surprise after spending even just a few days with them. God bless!

Geoff was the best professional mentor I've ever had - I owe so much to him. He was always full of life and you just knew when you left his office, you'd feel better about everything. It's so hard to imagine that he's gone...
Carol, Ashton and Grace, and all of Geoff's family, will always be remembered in my prayers.
What a tragedy to lose Geoff but what a gift to have known him!

Dear Cornman Family:
Very rarely in life you know that you have had the privledge of meeting an angel. Geoff was one of them. The news hit me like one of my own had passed. Now he will have a seat on high to watch over everyone.
God Bless you all now and forever,
Annette Doherty and Family (Joe, Anne-Marie, Mary Catherine, Mike and David)

Our hearts and prayers go out to the whole Cornman family during this difficult time.
I have always had a great respect for Geoff's positive attitude, self-confidence, and humility... from the very first time I met him. He was a *super person*, someone I Shawn and I looked forward to catching up with.
I keep thinking of a particularly rainy UofMD/UVA football game, with Geoff in a big fisherman's slicker cheering on the team... or throwing darts in Beth and Greg's basement. I was always glad when Corn was around.
All our love...
Jeff Miller, Shawn Brennan, and family.

Carol,
Cheri and I are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Although there are no words which can comfort, encapsulate or express the flurry of emotions at a time such as this, please know that Geoff will be greatly missed and you and your family are tops in our minds and prayers. If there is anything at all that we can do, we are always available to you and your beautiful daughters.
