Sad News

Guro Cory Wickersham passed away earlier this morning. He had been fighting esophageal cancer since June 2005. For those of you who didn’t know Guro Cory, he was the nicest and most humble man you could ever hope to meet. He will be truly missed.

If anyone has any kind thoughts or remembrances, please send them to corywickershaminfo@gmail.com.
