While Kork always worked hard, he enjoyed his family and during the later years had fun with his grandchildren and loved watching his great grandchildren. Kork loved anything that had an engine! His love of cars, he often referred to as a "disease", which was handed down to his son. He loved riding motorcycles. Kork and Troy made a several motorcycle trips together. When Troy was 9, Kork was letting Troy drive the motorcycle with Kork behind. For Lynne, she has many memories of Kork and his unconditional love … when she flunked speech, digging her out of a blizzard after missing curfew, crashing the scooter and his hero like quality of coming to the rescue when Lynne's VW started on fire.
