Worked with Corky back in the late 1980’s at John H. Hendrix, Corp. in Eunice, NM. Enjoyed every minute of it. He was a great guy, and I’m so thankful that I got to know him. To Linda and family : We deeply share your sadness and sense of loss. Corky will be fondly remembered by many, many people. Marvin, Jeannie, and Clayton Burrows, Hobbs NM.
God Bless Linda and family. She has had SO many problems in the past few years and now to lose her sweet husband. Sending my love and prayers.
Corky was a wonderful and sweet man. He will be missed greatly. His family are in my thoughts and prayers.
