Corey Comperatore was not only a dedicated veteran and community leader, but also a loving husband, father and role model.
His service in the US Army Reserves and dedication as a project engineer reflected his commitment to duty and excellence. Corey`s involvement in the Cabot Church and his leadership in the Buffalo Volunteer Fire Department exemplified his selfless devotion to his community.
Corey`s life reminds us of the importance of unity and service in our nation. His kindness and courage touched countless lives, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and integrity. My prayers are with Corey`s family, friends and all who knew him.
