So long to a good outdoorsman

Post by Greg_Cornish »

My father, Wesley Cornish finally passed to that great big Walleye Lake in heaven today. He was 96. He's been begging God to take him for a month.

We grew up on Catfish from the river

April 14, 1913 - June 7, 2009
Worked in the CCC camps and built Gooseberry Falls Park.
Raised 9 children, first 6 born at home - all raised on a farm.

Worked as a Sawyer, Farmer and House Painter. Playing guitar and harmonica were his passions

Taught his boys to work, hunt, trap and fish. He loved his daughters dearly.

Please say Goodbye to a good man.

I be out of touch for a few days starting the next couples of days. Save some bass for me.

I know everyone here appreciates your humor and kind heartedness in this stressful world, and I'm sure a big part of that comes from the life your father gave you.

Cheers to a good man and the life he lived!

All the best,

Greg-sorry and nice to see your Pop's photos. My dad died at 73 so you got a lot of good years with your old man to be thankful for. You hang in there and remember these guys defined what a man's man really was.

I'm deeply sorry for for your loss Greg. Thanks for taking the time to post those pictures and helping to connect us to the man that raised you.
