RIP Corky!

I found this notice of Corky's death posted in a tire pressure thread. Surely, we can do better! So here is a thread that's only for Corky. F the tire pressures! Since I've been a member of this board the rollcall of the fallen includes Shannon, Bill Dakonis, Jeff Williams and now Robert "Corky" Bendorf. Riase a glass to our fallen Pelican Brothers! Here's to life! Afterall it's only a matter of time before we go the same way.

Here's the link to his obit.

Corky was quite the character... you could not giggle if you were around him. If you were sunken he'd make your insides smile.

Heck, just look at this setup for his service... you KNEW he was a blast to be around.




Dehydration must be setting in... he's got the wrong finger in the air...


Instructing at Laguna Seca with the BMW car club.


He also enjoyed the company of red Italians...




Godspeed my friend...


Sigh, I've been saying this way too much this year.
