Loving Brother to Mark (Alyssa), Matthew (Kayla), Brandon (Kylie), Joseph & Adored Only Sister Gianna (whom owned his Heart & Soul) AKA Baby Bear. Preceded in passing is his precious little brother, Dylan Michael. Beloved Grandson & Best Friend to his “Mema“ Debbie Lateano. Grandson to Lee Jorgensen & the late Dolores Jaroch. Fun Uncle to his Nephews & Nieces. Godson to Rebecca Jorgensen and Ken Flynn. Proud Godfather to Faith. Cool Nephew of Rebecca (Denny), Andrea (Denise), Danny (Renee), Tim ( Sharon), Karen, Laura, Ronald & the late Michael, Thomas, Sandra, Joanne, Eddie, & his Cousin Sean.

He was a graduate of Carl Sandburg High School. He was an avid reader, reading anything pertaining to history and could tell you endless facts on any given event big or small. Always sharpening his skills watching Jeopardy.
Cory was a Deep Old Soul who made his impression on this world at a very young age. Going up and down the block conversing with the older neighbors keeping them company. The gift of gab came natural and he used it well. Cory was empathetic and a giver. He found happiness in bringing joy to others whether it be a simple wink and a smile, one of his warm embraces, to a small token, or literally the shirt off his very back. That was his nature. He also loved to stage some sort of theatrics (for with it brought joy) whether it be bursting into the room in full song and dance, snapping his fingers, and swaying his hips just to make his "Pops" blush and laugh, or to do a duet with his sister to remind her "Girls just wanna have fun". He and his brothers kept us on our toes, at times making the inside of our home a real live sports arena, or would stage priceless skits, pranks and endless magic shows that in turn earned him the nickname (from his brothers ) the "the Great Corradini." When Gianna was born he was over whelmed by how much love one little person could bring. She lit up his world and he wanted to be her "Hero and Mentor". Losing Dylan shattered him for he was always such a fierce protector of his family members. He never let go of his Grandmother's hand in her times of need. He had old fashioned values and respect. His love was endless and his faith was deep, that carried him through his lifetime. At a time he even contemplated joining the priesthood. His favorite verse and one he applied to those around him was, Faith, Hope and Love and The Greatest of these is Love.
Those that were blessed to have felt your love in one way or another are stronger and better because of it. We will be watching for the breathtaking sunrise and sunset masterpieces you and Dylan will be creating for us high in the sky. There is comfort knowing Dyl was awaiting to embrace you with our Lord to take your hand, and walk along side you, accompanying you into your next journey and bringing you home to the beautiful garden of his endless flowers and fields. Until we meet again, Forever Loved, Our Sweet Baby James …..
