I moved to this neighborhood about 9 years ago during a difficult time in my life. Not long after I moved in, Corky made and painted the cutest little birdhouse and gave it to me as a gift from him and his sweet next-door neighbor, June. That gesture meant more than he'd ever know and it hung on the same tree for those 9 years until the tree was snapped in half in a storm this summer. It stayed on my porch the rest of the summer, but I already know where I'm going to put it next Spring. I remember the first winter that my pipes froze and I was a little panicked, so Corky got an SOS call, saying "Help! What do I need to do?!" Of course, he knew what to do, as I knew he would. It wasn't the only time I asked for home advice either. Corky was one of those guys who just knew stuff about a lot of "stuff". He'd often swing by for a chat on his riding lawn mower if I was working outdoors. We always had plenty to talk about and I could talk his leg off if we both had the time. I'm prettty independant and try to do most of own outdoor work, including some landscaping projects. I may go about things in an unorthodox way at times, or huff and puff as I struggle with something or do it in a way that could probably be done a lot more efficiently. I'm sure I provided him with lots of comic relief! I could just picture him looking out the window sometimes, shaking his head and saying "Just what in the heck is she trying to do out there?", but he never mentioned a word. We have lots of pecan trees around here, but mine is hit and miss. I remember once, after a few days of "hunt & peck", I knew he felt bad for me and commented that my back had to get tired from all of that, even though I assured him I didn't mind it. The next day, he showed up with a big Folger's can filled to the top with pecans and gave them to me. He was my one-of-a kind, irreplacable, generous, big-hearted neighbor and it's not going to the be same without him.
