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.
I wonder if his disabilty had anything to do with spit?
Was this his? 
He was, truly, a renaissance man. Gave the world more drool illustrations than anyone since DaVinci.
We're not supposed to laugh, right?
"ny man who's spent fifty-three years and change saddled with the name "Corwyn" has suffered enough."
According to the obit, his brother apparently was saddled with "Dana" but went by "Mike."
Maybe Corwyn should have called himself "Studley."
Looking for loopholes?
Gee. Mr. Brilliant.....Did it ever dawn on you to move a less stressful country?
Zimbabwe, Somalia and Cuba come to mind.
Poor guy was cut down in his prime. Now the world will never see the definitive illustrated manual on flatulence and catarrh.
Serious question for you, if you want to laugh your ass off: Do you know who Douglas Adams was?
bump
Check the desert action.

what illiterate peasant wrote this obit?
"mediums" should be MEDIA (that IS the plural of "medium")
and how, exactly, are metalwork, sculpting (not "sculpturing"), and woodworking "beyond the fine arts"?
I mean, seriously: does the author believe that fine art is traditionally restricted to hurling gobbits of faeces at a canvas?
oh, right... the author probably IS under just that misperception.
it gets worse:
"...; his step-daughter, Esperanza Hernandez both of Tucson"
what an odd and ungainly name, StarTrek by way of peyote: "Bertha Bigbootie seven of Hoboken"
these illiterate PEASANTS deserve naught but caustic derision.
Now that's art.
I think I'll attend and stick one of those magnetic, yellow, "Support Our Troops" ribbons on his urn.
Should have tried moving to some just country like North Korea.
Looking for loopholes.
