Corkum
Mike was born on August 19, 1946 in Nova Scotia, Canada. He graduated from Acadia University and began a long career in banking in both Canada and the United States. He retired from CIBC in 2004 after a 37 year career.
Mike was a member of Christ Church Episcopal in Norcross, where he sang in the choir and served 29 years as thrift shop treasurer. He also served as treasurer for Rainbow Village where he actively volunteered. Mike loved golf, music, playing the piano, and being near the water in Nova Scotia.
Mike was full of joy and had a tremendous impact on everyone he met. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, unwavering honesty and integrity, gentle nature, welcoming smile and infectious laugh. He was a true steward of the Lord, not just professing his faith but living it. He always led by example, and never hesitated to give all that he had to help his fellow man. Mike leaves a legacy of love having touched many lives with his kind heart and generous spirit.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Daisy Corkum, and his sister, Carol Ann. He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Pat (Harlow) Corkum, daughters Kim Hartwig and husband Tom, Shannon Snyder and husband Jason, grandchildren Mackenzie and Hunter Snyder and Kacey and Sadie Hartwig, sister Ellen Warren and husband Darrell, and many treasured nieces, nephews, family and friends.
