Was your father Gary and your brother Eric? Do you remember me? Karin Murphy: I think you are the childhood friend that I had who lived next door. Was your father Gary and your brother Eric?

My brother used to help Cornell with yard work. I was very lucky to have gotten a private showing of his art when I was about 12, although not quite as lucky as Karin. He was something of an eminence grise for the neighborhood. A very good man, but quite a recluse. No one had any idea as to how important he would become. Thanks for posting this!

My mother often cooked for him and did light house cleaning. My sister Fran and Jeanette also did little things around the house for him. My now brother in law used to make the box frames for his art pieces. I am sorry I never met him. His art was simple in material, but beautiful and complex in meaning.

He gave one of his pieces to my parents as a gift and after he passed, my parents sold it to John Lennon and Yoko Ono for $1,000, which at the time, was a lot of money to my parents who immigrated to the US from post war Germany. I just visited the Phoenix Art Museum and saw one of his pieces. It brought back so many fond memories of him. Karin I lived next door to Mr. Cornell as a child.
