I will always remember his smile. No matter the situation, Corey always knew how to find the positive. He was such a great friend and graduating with him from high school and spending so much time together in Germany was a blessing I will always cherish. Gone but NEVER forgotten...your watch is over my brother. Fly high, until we should meet again.
