Pauline, Tammy, Ricky, Mark, and Mitchell,
It is with intense deep sorrow that I received the news of Corky's death. I loved him like a father and he was a big influence in my life. I learned a lot from Corky, lessons that I still carry with me today. My thoughts are with you all during this time of sadness and you are all in my heart always.
