Boonville- Cory M. Zeigler, 57, affectionately known as "Cork", husband of Jeanie, passed away at his home, March 20, 2015. Cory was born on April 16, 1957, at home on the Mineral Springs Road, Boonville, a son of Ervin and Louise Hess Zeigler. He was educated in Boonville and attended BOCES in Glenfield, where he took classes in carpentry. Cork graduated from Adirondack High School, with the class of 1976. While in school he enjoyed playing football, basketball, and was an exceptional catcher and hitter for the baseball team, he was also a member of Boy Scout Troop #13. Cork was united in marriage to Jeanie Sullivan on July 7, 1979 in Port Leyden. After graduating he was employed for a short time with Pete Levensailor as a carpenter. Cork was then employed for the Ethan Allen Furniture Co., Boonville, where he worked for over 30 years in the sawmill until the plant closed in 2004. Currently he was employed as a carpenter for the Charles Gaetano Construction Co. Cork was an avid hunter and fisherman, who also enjoyed gardening, boating, working in the woods, and cooking, especially when on the yearly hunting trips to the Southern Tier. From these trips came numerous stories to tell…some can be repeated, some can't! He loved his Ford truck, snowmobiling and four-wheeling. He loved to joke around and was adored by all, especially by all his nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. He was always willing to help out family and friends whenever needed. He is survived by his wife, Jeanie, his mother Louise Zeigler, Boonville, his mother-in-law Irma Sullivan, Port Leyden, siblings: Larry, Ron (Dianna), Lynn (Tina), Dwayne (Charlotte) and Bonnie (George) Snyder, all of Boonville.
