I first met Corny many years ago when he worked at Regent Shell as a mechanic. Later on when when I bought my first home it turned out he was a neighbor of ours, Our Kids went to school togeather. Corney was allways willing to lend a hand with any mechanical problems one might have had. And also every fall was handing out samples from his garden that he favored every year.He was our suppier of fresh Pickeral twice a year and also suppied some with a nice deer roast from time to time.A generous man who loved to play the slots and carried on with life even though he had health issues. We will miss you sadly but are glad you are in a better place. Perhaps you will be carrying on with your gardening and hunting in a better land,So old timer Adios for now and we will never forget you. The Stein Family. - Posted by: Don Stein (Neighbor) on: Aug 04, 2012
