Duane and I continue to reminisce about our many happy times with Rose and Cornie on Fox Lake and at trips together to Alaska and Spring Green Wisconsin and Hawaii.    We would go to movies together every weekend.   Cornie was not too interested.  Rose loved it.   Thanks to them, we became acquainted with everyone on Indian Point on Fox Lake.  We'd ice skate during winter and take walks in the Chain O Lakes State Park.    Good times.

Uncle Cornie and Aunt Rosie,

Remembering you both today and every day. Thank you for taking such good care of us growing up.  We always had so much fun with you on Fox Lake - swimming, water-skiing, eating cheeseburgers on the porch, and teaching me to fly!  

You are sorely missed.  Please give Grandma Maria Colombo, Grandma Mom and PaPa, Michael, Vicki, and my Mom (Juliana) a big hug and kiss for me!

With much gratitude and respect. 

Love you,
Patti

Captain Cornelius was a true gentleman with a genuine smile .  It was always a pleasure to see his name as your Captain on the Crew list.  I started in Chicago as a flight attendant in 1978.  Good memories of a great career with fine people like Cornie.

Cornie and I had parallel careers, both flying  captain for Ozark at the Chicago domicile from its start in 1960  until its closing  in 1978 (or 9?) . He was a good friend and respected by  his fellow pilots and will be missed by all, now taking his "last flight west".  

Corney, although, senior was always a pleasure to fly with.  His humor and professionalism  were always present.  At 86 I'm still kicking  and greatly miss all the great men who flew for Ozark. 

I had the privilege of flying as a First Officer with Captain Wildhaber in my early years with Ozark Airlines.

He was so much fun to fly with, as he treated his F/O's not only as Copilots, but as friends.

He had such a great sense of dry humor, which made the cockpit a fun place to work in.

Thank you Captain Wildhaber for helping to shape me into a future Captain.

Sincerely,

Dick Bell


Cornie  and Rosie were our dear friends and neighbors at Fox Lake. We loved them, always inclusive, sitting in their screened in porch drinking Cornies homemade wine. Fun cherished memories.   Their niece Peppermint Patty has always been a part of our lives.  Their warmth and smiles are always with us.
