Corwyn (Cory) William Zimbleman
Tucson, AZ (formerly of Champaign, IL)
Age 53. Born April 18, 1952 to the late Willard and Gilda (Ebert) Zimbleman, died June 10, 2005. Throughout his life Cory was an extraordinary artist. His artistic talent and imagination would bring awe to all who viewed his work. His works grace an LP cover and numerous books; using Computer Aided Design (CAD) he designed home and business exteriors, interiors, and furniture for several architectural firms. His talent went beyond the fine arts as he added sculpturing, woodworking, metals, and other mediums to his repertoire. Having never gained the recognition he deserved in his own lifetime his family hopes to publish a book of his works. Another of his passions was herpetology. As a child he was always bringing home reptiles. His friends nicknamed him "Snake." He even built a turtle pond in his backyard. An avid atheist, he studied the bible and religion with more fervor than most Christians. He had strong political opinions and followed Amy Goodman's radio broadcast "Democracy Now." Alas the stolen election of 2000 and living with right-winged Americans finally brought him to his early demise. Stress from living in this unjust country brought about several heart attacks rendering him disabled. Cory, a great man, so very talented, compassionate and intelligent, dedicated to the arts and humanities and the environment, will be greatly missed by his wife, family, and friends. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Montiel; his step-daughter, Esperanza Hernandez both of Tucson; his brother, Mike (Dana) of St. Louis, MO; his sisters, Susan St. Claire of San Jose, CA and Laura Zimbleman of Ypsilanti, MI, and his turtles Heidie, Skinhead and Studley and many other pets. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, June 21, 2005 from 6:00 p.m.- 9:00 p.m., please call 883-2862 for information. Cremation has taken place.
Admittedly, his turtles might.
Hey - it's working.
I hope this guy likes the perpetual and eternal smell of barbecue.
Dead "avid atheist" ping.
OK, so what exactly is wrong with building a turtle pond? After all, turtles are people, too!
Oh good Lord. Gimme a break. Died from living in an unjust country, eh? He lived close enough to that paradise Mexico he could've moved there and be alive and happy today...
LMAO. :-)
GAMERA!
This is not a joke.
Survived by and his turtles Heidie, Skinhead and Studley.
Studley the turtle?
I heard this on Limbaugh this morning and wanted to puke. Not to play the race card, but this white guy had stress living in America? Try being a black, Jewish, conservative woman. I'll show you stress!
On a serious note, why are liberals so damn unhappy? I'm thrilled everyday to be living in the US.
See post 50.
My first thought of GET A LIFE!!! would be inappropriate in this instance.
You're right. Maybe he should have traded places with a Sudanese christian woman.
I did, just after I posted. Think it's him?
Welcome to the eternal bummer, Cory...
