Subject: Passing of Fellow Rocketeer Corky Borgmann John and Dan,
Attached is message Marty sent out this evening concerning the passing this morning of Corky Borgmann. It's a very sad day for our club. One of Corky's lasting legacies is his securing of the launch site in Walnut Grove.
Gary
To all,
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that our friend and fellow rocketeer Corky Borgmann passed away this morning. Corky wasn't too active in the club the last few years so some of the newer members may not have had the pleasure of knowing him.
I met Corky in 2001 when I joined the club. Over the years we attended many an LDRS and club launch and participated in club projects and motor making sessions. After he stopped being active in the club, he spent a lot of his time driving his sand buggy, and traveling the country in his motor home with his wife Toni. Corky's passing will leave a giant rocket shaped hole in my heart.
Visitation will be on Friday, Feb 7, 11:00-12:30 at Greenlawn Funeral Home on Battlefield Rd, Springfield, MO. Funeral follows at Veterans Cemetary off 65 & Evans RD.
Marty Cox
