    Met Mr. Korn in the late 70’s. I was a young electrician back then. He was always there when I need help. It was always a joy to talk with him. I stopped a few times to visit with him. Now retired he will always be in my thoughts and I will always remember the great help he gave me and great time talking with him. Wishing Philip my best and prays. David Chorlton
