If Cortland YMCA youth basketball league had a hall of fame, Corky would be first the inductee. From any spot on the creaky old wooden floor “Cork” was deadly… unguardable!! His left handed floater was “Net music.” A Homer High classmate and teammate, like our friend, Karl Ripley, Corky will be missed. Rest in peace, my friend.

Shirley and family I cannot tell you how sorry Judy and I are to just hear about Corky. We have so many fond memories I could write a short story about the good times we had and the laughs at our house on Groton road just up the road from his home. He rebuilt our porch on McGregor street and we had so many laughs and s few barley pops-👍❤️ He was a special person and we are so sorry.
