“Mi más sentido pésame a toda la familia de mi amigo Kory. Fuimos compañeros de trabajo por muchos años. Fue un muy buen amigo y para el yo era “El Chiquis.” Que vayas con Dios mi amigo, Kory.”
Please accept my deepest condolences for my friend’s loss. Kory and I were coworkers for many years. He was a great friend! He would refer to me as “El Chiquis.” May his soul Rest In Peace.
Sincerely,
“El Chiquis” and his Family
Jena Lovelace says
I met Kory approximately 20 years ago. As a teenager/ young adult I can’t recall a time there wasn’t a smile on his face. He didn’t take things too seriously and if you were around him you didn’t either. As a long time friend of my daughter’s father and his family, Kory watched my child grow up. The group of friends that he had was tight knit and long lasting. While I haven’t been in Kory’s life for some time now, I will always remember him fondly. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, children, family, and friends. I know many will miss his smiling face.
