After retirement, he worked at KSU in the Grain Science Department and drove lease vehicles for Briggs Auto across the county for a short time.
Corky ended his work career by volunteering, along with his wife, Laura, for Meals on Wheels at the senior center for 18-years, delivering not only the food, but his million dollar smile. He was a member of the Christ Church in Manhattan. He belonged to the Masonic Lodge, Isis Shrine of Salina and the American Legion.
Corky will be greatly missed by his family and friends, and his smile, love, humor and generosity will live forever. He was a resident of Stoneybrook for the past 1½ years and recently his care was provided by The Hospice House in Manhattan. His family is grateful to both Stoneybrook and The Hospice House for his care.
