Cornell

I enjoyed working as your library clerk. When it got too noisy, you would come out of your office and say, "Don't get blood on my carpet." I was glad to meet you again in bountiful under better circumstances.

I had the pleasure of working with Cornel, Sr. on the Duchesne County Library Board. He was the epitome of friendliness and I am so grateful that I was able to know him. Cornel, Jr. my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cornel was such a kind person with a "punny" sense of humor. He would always stop what he was doing to chat and genuinely cared about others. Cornel, what a great loss to have seen both your parents go and we are grieving with you. We send our love and prayers as you go through this difficult time. Keith and Ann Larsen

My kids can never sit through sacrament or class for that matter. Brother Thomas frequently would be sitting in the foyer chair while I was going in and out of sacrament and as we excited the chapel after Sacrament. He would always smile and say hi. We would talk for a few minutes and it always made me feel good. I will always remember him as a kind man who took the opportunity to make other feel welcome. He will be missed and is well loved.

Cornel was jovial and loved to see the humor in a situation. I remember him frequently starting a story with the words "I have to laugh...". He and my sister, Gretchen, we're so compatible and happy together. I am grateful for the love and happiness he brought into her life and am glad to have him for my brother-in-law! We will all miss him until the day we all meet again. 💝 to Cindy & Cornel, Jr. from Aunt Nancy & Uncle Mike

Cornel Sr. didn't know me very well, but from the minute I met him he spoke to me like he'd known me all along, like a member of his own family. Every time I was around him after that it was the same story. He treated me like I was a member of his own family. In grateful for that.
