Miss a great friend who l have made many memories with. Probably the best memories was taking Tony out of his element and going to the sand dunes but he would always take on the biggest dunes. And then going hunting and experiencing his first elk and seeing his excitement. And of course seeing what a great family man he was. 
RIP TONY 

Grandpa Corey was the coolest and toughest grandpa I’ve ever met. Always kind, always had a smile on his face. He was a man full of experience and knowledge with Construction and boating. I was lucky enough to have him aboard the “DogHouse” on one stormy day to try and fish. Although we didn’t catch any fish because of the harsh weather,  we were still able to have  some coors light  and spend an evening out on the ocean like Men. He’s passed down nothing but good character, knowledge, and a legacy that will carry on through Justin.  

Love, pure love Uncle Jr. and Aunt Sharon have always freely given.❤️ This picture hangs in our hallway and we look at it to remind us of that love.  
So many wonderful family gatherings and river trips where these two would be so gracious and a lot of fun!
A memory Glenn shared was how Uncle Jr. would never let anyone have a taste of the lamb kabobs until they were done.😉
You’ve left a loving and beautiful legacy Uncle Jr.  We’ll see you in Heaven!🕊

My grandpa was one of the most inspirational men i ever knew. He always loved and cared about everyone. My grandpa taught me everything I know. He taught me its not what is on the outside but on the inside that counts. He taught me how to be a husband how to look at the positive of every situation. He was my grandpa but he also was my best friend. He was my first call every morning when I would go to work and my call on my way home. He always had an answer for every question big or small. But I am glad he imprinted all his knowledge on to me. He made me into the man I am today. I know that he is up their looking down at all of us and when I take our fishing boat out he will be right next to me driving it, reeling in the fish, watching me teach my son how to tie a hook for the first time like he taught me. I know he will be with me always. But most of all that he is my guardian angel.

Love and miss you young man...

A few words for Tony,
We have known Tony and his family for over 30 years. He has shown us that you don't have to be family to be family.  We have done a lot of river trips and outings together, I  Byron have also had the opportunity to work with Tony in the early years and got to  know him on a personal level as well. He will be greatly missed. 
We Love you, Uncle Junior


One of the good ones  has left us and a huge hole in the family  reminds.
Cousin Junior the tough gentle giant will be in our hearts forever.
May you Rest In Peace Tony George Corey.
Love and prayers to Sharon and the rest of the family❤️

It is so hard to see my only grandfather go but he is at peace now and emotion will mix because he has done so much for me and has cared for me.   But we now can not change anything.  As life continues we all shall make every moment turn into a memory...

My dad, where can I start. Everyone had a lot of memories of my dad. If you ever needed to talk to my dad he was always there to listen and give advice if needed. He was the one you went to when you had to learn how to drive and get your license, he would be so patient with all. One thing I do remember is always going to the river every summer since we were all younger and going on my dads boat and going waterskiing...he was so patient knowing I would just go around and around and never say hurry up or anything. He was such a strong person and never wanted to give up. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend you could ever know. He will truly be missed by all that got to know him...I truly will miss him and love him.


I Love You Dad

Tony G. Corey was more than a grandfather to me. I didn't grow up with any male figures in my life, so when I met Mr. Corey I was so taken back by what an amazing example of a strong respected and loved by all male figure that he was. I can still remember exactly the day that Mr. Corey became in my heart my grandfather. It was simply a Friday, and that day may have been any other Friday to him and to everyone else but for me it was the day I found my family. From that day forward I called him grandpa. I want to simply say that I only knew this wonderful man for only 8 years, but in these last 8 years he has become one of the most important men in my life. This man showed me how a man will and is supposed to love his wife for his whole life. He showed me how a man always cares and loves his children even after their grown and gone. He showed me the love of a grandfather, and great grandpa to my children. But most important he showed me how to live your life. With love, honesty and always family first. I have been extremely lucky to have had such a wonderful example of a male figure even if it was for just 8 years these memories he gave me will last me a lifetime. 

Thank you grandpa,
I love you

There are so many things I remember about my dad.  He taught me so many things.  I remember truck driving  with him,  helping him with yard work and helping with whatever he needed help with. I remember all the vacations we did from going to High Sierra, fishing,  river and just family hanging out together.  Family was the most important thing to my dad. Spending all the holidays together was the best.   I remember it didn't matter if you were family or friends he would say everyone is welcome. I remember his favorite saying was you can't take it with you.  My dad will be missed by everyone.  I will never forget all the memories we had together. I love you and miss you so much.  

There was no one more love of life than my grandpa. 
Last time I saw him, my auntie or Grandma or someone was telling him to use a walker when he needs it. And he told me he doesn’t like to use a walker. “If you always use a walker to get around, you never get better or stronger. You’ll always need the walker.  You have to push yourself”.  To me, that summarized his spirit perfectly. I love you and miss you today Grandpa but I know you’re always with us. ❤️

Dear Sharon, girls and grandchildren,

Our love and prayers are with all of you.  Cousin Junior was a wonderful, kind and loving man.  I will always remember his beautiful, warm smile.    

May God bless you all at this very difficult time.  

Lovingly,
Cousin Suzi and Mark

There are so many wonderful memories of my dad I am not sure how I could choose just one to write about.  So many people looked up to my dad for knowledge, comfort and advise.  We all had so much trust and confidence in him.  If he said something should be done a certain way then you just didn't even question it.  He cared so much about all of us, his wife, his daughters, his brother and sisters, his grandchildren, nieces and nephews and everyone he knew.   He has taught us all so much over the years.  He will truly missed by all.  He will forever be missed by me.
