Judy- so sorry to hear of your loss. Corky helped me move up the ladder in our industry. And I remember so many good times at meetings with you and Corky. Shagging was fun too. Donna and I will keep you in our prayers.

I was so sorry to read of Corky's passing. He and I were in the same homeroom from th 9th grade through our senior year. The las time I talked to him was before our 55th Reunion. I called him to encourage him to come but he said he couldn't leave Edisto. I'm sure he will be misssd by all who knew him. Sallie Derham Schirm

Corky was our best buddy at Botany Bay. He would bring Trap out everyday and let him run, then he would call Me to see what I was doing for the day out there. He always ended with "be sweet". I will miss those calls, and his visits to Botany, and his help with our Grunt Tuesday cookouts. He was one of the boys. And most of all, he was a caring and wonderful man. We are going to miss him greatly.

Dear Judy & family: There are such wonderful memories of Corky that we share here on Edisto. He was a part of our "Fork & Knife Dinner Club" and could fix the best bread to complement any meal. Our love and respect for your Husband, Father, and Grandfather will always remain in our hearts here on Edisto. May you find peace knowing just how much he will be missed for his unassuming, quiet strength. He was a dear friend. Love, Butch Pendarvis and Beth Andreucci
