Irwin Eisen Obituary

When my Mom let me know of Corky's passing, I wanted to let you know how much he meant to our family. I have years of wonderful memories in my daughters "Grandparent Day at the Eisen's" scrapbook. My daughter is in high school, but still shows off her 'smallest fish' trophy for all to see! Thank you for the beautiful memories you have given us.

To the Eisen Family....
How sad we are to hear about the loss of Corky. My family will forever be grateful for his wonderful Grandparent's Day at the farm. My granddaughter Madison Moran talked about Corky and showed off her beautiful trophys. He will be greatly missed. Most fondly, Caryn and Norm Kiven

Dear Eisen Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear that my friend and mentor Corky had passed on. He was bigger than life. Corky got me my big break in the business and looked out for me for many years. I could go to him with any issue and he always made time to listen and advise. When things got rough financially, he was right there to help. I became a better man for having known him and spending time with him. I still recall my wife and I having dinner with Corky and Joyce at a great restaurant in Chicago. Here I was, having dinner with one of the most legendary men in our business. My wife and I had to pinch ourselves to make sure it was real. May my friend Corky rest in eternal peace and may the Eisen family enjoy serenity.
Corky may be gone now but I will never ever forget him. I have not spoken with him in years, but both he and Joyce are two of the most wonderful people I've ever had the pleasure to know. Bless all of you.
Warmest Regards
John and Donna Weston

I am so proud to have called him Brother - my heart is incomplete.....

Dear Eisen Family,
The hearts, thoughts and prayers of the Upton family go out to you during this difficult time. Corky was a true life-loving mensch! He lived life to the fullest and shared it like no other with his family and friends. We will sorely miss his wisdom, integrity and gusto for life.
Our sincerest sympathies,
The Upton Family

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Our sincere condolences for the loss of Cousin Corky. My children still talk about the wonderful times they had at the minature horse farm near Bristol and how they played with the bumper boats in the pond. I'll never forget Corky's support during my son's illness. Corky had an "in" with the doctors at Children's Memorial, which helped lessen our stress. Corky was also supportive during my husband, Bob's, illness, even tho he was also struggling with his own. The last time they saw each other was a chance meeting at the hospital, and they encouraged each other to keep fighting. We will certainly miss Corky.

Corky was a good and loving friend for over 40 years. His most unusual and affectionate personality will be sorely missed. Carol and Ronald Benach

Dear Eisen Family,

I know that your memories of more joyful times and the love of family and friends will help you get through your loss.

As former members of Ravinia Green two of the first people we met were Corky and Joyce. What a great vibrant couple they were. Many years later we had to wait to become grandparents and THEN we were invited to ride at the ranch. He sure knew how to live life to the fullest. How lucky you were to have
had him as your husband and father. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
