Corky retired from General Electric in Mattoon, IL after 25 years of service.
Hunting and fishing were two of his greatest passions. One of his greatest accomplishments was teaching his grandsons how to be great hunters. His granddaughter Taylor was his “Taybug”. He spent his last four months with his newest little rug-rat Sophia and he spent his days with his future granddaughter-in-law, Hayley.

He had numerous furry friends over the years that invaded his home; most especially Gizmo, Pumpkins and the ones that were still with him, Lilly and Cat-dog.

He had many nieces and nephews that loved their “Grumbling Uncle Cork” and some very special friends, Gene Allen, Carl VanDeveer, Leonard Roberts and Kenny Wheeler.
