Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

My darling husband Corky is gone. He passed about an hour ago, 11:15pm on 2/2/24. Just this morning we moved him from the Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital where he spent 8 days to a beautiful VNA Hospice just down the street.

Cork had been experiencing increasingly intense symptoms for over a year now; choking when trying to swallow, difficulty speaking & fibrillations in his upper arms. We received the first tentative diagnosis in early August, and the confirmations a week before Christmas – ALS, or Lou Gehrigs disease.

Cork’s was the most lethal type, bulbar, because it affects the neurons that control breathing. It also robs you of your ability to talk, which was particularly cruel for Cork since he loved to tell his stories about his years as an audio engineer with rock stars.

I plan to bring his ashes to PR, where one of his surfer buddies will paddle his ashes out to his favorite surf break.

Because of my darling’s likability & gabbiness, I am surrounded by dear friends down here in Florida.

He is & always will be the love of my life, my Music Man, my Silver Surfer, & my Chuckle Bucket – he always found a way to make me laugh. I will love him til the day I die and beyond.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
