LEWISTOWN-Samuel Leslie Corbin, 78, of 14 East Vandevender St., Mount Union, died at 3 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008, at the Golden Living Center-William Penn in Lewistown.
His death was due to complications associated with chronic rheumatoid arthritis. With him at the time of his passing were his children and son-in-law.
Born on Aug. 14, 1930, in Bratton Twp., Mifflin County, he was a son of the late Cloyd G. and Mary (Kauffman) Corbin. He was united in marriage to Margaret L. Long on May 28, 1955, by the Rev. J. Richard Gutshall of the Pine Glen Church of the Brethren in Longfellow. Mrs. Corbin survives at their home.
Mr. Corbin is also survived by: daughter, Natalie S. Love, and husband, Donald, of Huntingdon; son, David T. Corbin, of Longfellow; grandson, Donald R. Love III, and wife, Jennifer, of Lynchburg, Va.; granddaughter, Emily Love Esworthy, and husband, Starrett, of Union Bridge, Md.; and great-grandson, Judah Caelum Love, of Lynchburg, Va.
Surviving brothers and sisters: Ann Conner, of Lewistown, Harold W. Corbin, of Lewistown, Myra Hambright, of McVeytown, and Leona McCaffrey, of Lewistown.
Preceding him in death: infant son, Philip Richard; three brothers, Merle, Robert and Clair Corbin; four sisters, Kathryn French, Esther Thompson, Sarah Finkenbiner and Helen Corbin.
Educated in the Mifflin County public schools, he was a 1948 graduate of McVeytown-Oliver High School and continued his education through Penn State University.
Retired on disability at age 48 from the State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon, Mr. Corbin had attained the rank of captain.
Devout in his faith, he was a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Mount Union where he had at one time served on the board of elders.
Until arthritis prevented his continued participation, he had been an avid hunter and fly fisherman and had been an active player in league sports: baseball, softball and bowling. He had also made regular trips with friends to Chincoteague, Va., to fish in the Chesapeake Bay for as long as his health had permitted.
A devoted family man, he had spent many hours hunting and fishing with his children in their younger years. When he was no longer able to engage in these pastimes, he enjoyed spending time with them in front of the television, following their favorite college and professional sports teams. He also seized every opportunity he could to perform outdoor chores at his son's farm in Longfellow.
Until this past year, he was a Saturday-morning regular at Yetter's Restaurant in McVeytown where he looked forward to reminiscing with old friends, engaging in political discussions, and spending the morning out with his children and their families.
He was a founding member of Camp Carlisle in Bratton Township, Mifflin County, where he was known as "Crab" to his friends.
During the Korean Conflict, he served with the U.S. Army in Japan and Korea. He was a member of a number of veterans' organizations.
At Mr. Corbin's request, his body has been bequeathed for use in arthritis research. Therefore, there will be no public viewing.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 21, at the church of his boyhood, Pine Glen Church of the Brethren in Longfellow.
Cremains will be interred in a private ceremony at Bowman's Chapel Cemetery, Smith Valley, at the convenience of the family.
