Northern Rancher

[WyomingRancher]

A sad day indeed for our ranchers.net family . Like many others, I never had the chance to meet Cory in person, but spent time FB chatting with him over the last few years. He had such an impact on my thinking, and I always appreciated how gracious he was in sharing his advice... it was guaranteed not to be sugar coated :lol: . He had a fantastic sense of humor, and was a great father. I consider myself lucky to have known him, even though we never spoke or met. One thing about it, Cory didn't just give up, he lived to the end. Just last week he was making plans for his AI company... yet another lesson to take home :wink: .

After all, everyone always is interested in the Colorado mountain side of our operation, not the New Mexico desert side, which has it's own personality and beauty. Not Cory...he wanted to see how cows run in the high mountain desert setting, and it just thrilled my Dad to no end that someone wanted to see and learn about how he manages the cows and the environment in that setting.

That sound exactly like Cory. He was always more interested in ranching where conditions were against you rather than ranching where it was easy.

edit Not to say that it is easy to ranch on the Colorado side

Payers for the family. Cory made me think about a few different aspects when it came time to pick bulls.

NR was truly an inspiration.... from the way he lived his life to his battle with cancer. A good man has gone home, Happy Trails.

My most sincere condolences to the Wilson family......I've only met Cory a couple of times and shared a few phone calls as well as numerous PM's. The thing that always impressed me the most about NR was the intense pride he showed in his family and their activities; many of which he shared with all of us here.

I think Northern Rancher always took time to stop and smell the roses through his journey of life. Thanks to Ranchers.net for introducing us.

This place just won't be the same. Condolences to family and friends. A real loss.

 

[Silver]

Sad news indeed. Don't know what to say except: Thanks for everything Cory, you made a mark and you will be missed here on earth.

 

[John SD]

Cory was a fine example of courage and an inspiration to us all. A good cattleman and a good family man. Peace and comfort to his family.

NR was not just original he was one of the originals posters on ranchers net. My words do not do justice to the iconic figure he was here. Though I had never met him in person I felt like he was someone I have known my whole life. He never let cancer beat him mentally and never asked for sympathy.

My sincere condolences to his family. You will be missed my friend.

 

[Jassy]

Like so many of us on here that never met NR in person, he still made such an impact on us all. I so admired him for his love of his family and how he got so excited when they got the "big" buck or rode the best bronc. Family came first with him and that is what makes a good man. My heart goes out to his family and friends that knew him well. We sure will miss him here on Ranchers..

 

[Bruce]

My condolences to the family.
I read somewhere the other day "the best sermon's are lived not preached...."
Take care.

Rest in Peace NR, sending my condolences to your family.
