Corey was fantastic in helping us build a very non standard Metricon home. Always calm, patient and professional. He was also very pleased we could line him up with some of Melbourne’s best dumpling places
He was so clearly loved and respected

Corey, you lived life to the full. I’ll miss hearing about the weekend getaways, concert tickets, and family adventures you were always planning for Mel and the boys - forever thoughtful and always putting your family first.

Sympathies to Mel, Cooper & Kruz and to Colin, Lorraine and the McDonald family. Corey was a great mate, who always managed to make me laugh with one of his many stories from his life, no matter how many times I'd heard them before. Will miss catching up with you at WWCC functions and the numerous same concerts we always seemed to be going to. Green Day in March won't be the same without you, but I will be sure to "keep an eye out for a homeless man". RIP mate. You're going to be sorely missed - Ads
