He was a 1981 graduate of Bob Jones University and taught several years in Christian Schools in Kingsport, TN and Gallipolis, OH. He was also a member of Elmwood Baptist Church. Corky was a cab driver in the Huntington area for over twenty five years. He enjoyed going the extra mile for his customers and valued the personal interaction with them. He. He was a friend to many people and loved by all who knew him. In 2002, he was shot twice in the back while driving the cab, which led to many surgeries and many years of constant pain which ultimately led to his complete disability. With his Homegoing, we are thanking the Lord that our beloved son, brother and father is finally pain free and with his Savior that he longed to see.
