Cory was a devoted husband, loving father, and as a grandfather he took great pride in spoiling his grandkids.  Cory was immensely proud of his family.  Cory was a fan of all sporting events but especially loved attending football, basketball, and baseball games.  He loved playing golf with friends and camping with family members, especially his brother and sister in-laws.
