Hi guys, I replied to a PM today and asked how he was doing, and received a reply back from his wife saying he'd lost the battle. She is getting messages and I forwarded her the link to this thread.
I totally missed it in our local paper, but some of the info was still on the newspaper's website:
Valley Hills Funeral Home, Yakima Cory Harrington was born in Yakima Washington, December, 9th, 1957 and went to be with his Lord, April, 13th, 2008.
His family wishes to thank all of the friends and loved ones who have shown their love and support during Cory's battle with cancer. Cory's memory will carry on in many. A special thanks to all the caregivers and doctors that helped Cory, as well as Debbie's Co-Workers and friends at Wray's

A special thanks to all the caregivers and doctors that helped Cory, as well as Debbie’s Co-Workers and friends at Wray’s, Chris and Karen Brown, and Debbie’s manager Mark, and his extended family of the Church Of Christ where he has attended for the last fourteen years.
Cory attended Davis High School and furthered his education to become a computer specialist.

I hope you all recieve this my husband Cory really appreciated all your prayers and support. Not sure what to say but that we had many good times with our Airsteam. I really don't think I am going to be able to keep it though. I don't have a clue about towing and up keep. I really enjoy camping though and all the great people we have met from all over. I hope you all get this. Debbie

Debbie,
It, of course, is very difficult to know what to say when someone loses a loved one. Just know that Cory had a lot of folks out here pulling for him, and he encouraged us in our own challenges by being willing to share his own health "ups & downs". We wish you and your family well. Stay with us in the Airstream if you can.

Debbie, I am so sorry that Cory lost his battle with cancer. This forum has some of the greatest people in the world and they mean what they say with blessings and help. I lost my husband to COPD last Aug. We did love to travel and camp. I have been to 2 rallies since then and am looking forward to more travels. We have a motor home, so I didn't have to worry with hooking up to go. I understand the toll that his illness took on you so take time to take care of yourself now before you make any major changes. If you decide to sell your airstream some one here on the forums will probaly give it a loving home. Please keep in touch with this group as they are a very positive bunch of folks. I feel like they are an extended family. Even tho we never met Cory , We felt like we knew him and were praying for his recovery.
Please stay in touch with us. Kay
