My deepest sympathy to the family of Robert Corn. I remember the conversations we would have years ago when he came to call on Sargent & Lundy, only to see him many years later at the YMCA. He always had a smile and a big hello. God Bless!

Bob, always inviting and warm, welcomed me just over a year ago to play tennis with his pals. I will cherish the great "gets" and rally memories.

Our hearts are heavy and our prayers are with the Corn family. Bob was an awesome, fun-loving, ageless man who always had a smile on his face, an infectious laugh and a kind word. He will be missed dearly by many. We were blessed to have spent time with him and Mary Louise at plays and concerts, golf, and simply chatting in the sunroom. Adrianne & Carl
