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.
