    We were so blessed to have had such a True Patriot in our lives. We enjoyed hearing that hearty laughter and will cherish those memories and stories Cork shared. Getting a letter or current article was most informative and precious that he took the time to think of us. Thank you Cork for your many years of service to our country. We will miss you and love you always. Rest in peace now, job well done. Greg and Kathy Badger.
