A literal giant with a giant heart. A goofball who had two goofy feet. He always took the time to listen to others problems even when he had many of his own. I'll never forget how comfortable you made me feel my first day on set. Miss you, my giant friend. #3yearswithoutcory

One of the sweetest, most generous humans I've ever met. You made me laugh harder than anyone and there was never a moment you weren't doing something to put a smile on our faces. I miss you.
