My fathers remains/ashes are in a garage of his old house in Blairsville, GA. He died in 2005. The house is now owned by a man from Erie, PA. who refuses to return my fathers cremains to me. He has never met me nor my father. Ive asked nicely twice (vie email and text) and still he replies with taunts. My father was a Hoosier, a Georgia Tech track star, a rocket scientist and a WWII vet. He deserves a decent burial in his home town of Terre Haute. Below is a brief BIO of my father cut and pasted from induction ceremony into the Indiana Track and Field Hall of Fame. PLEASE HELP! 2014 IATCCC Hall of Fame Inductees Jack Corridan - Terre Haute Wiley The site of red-headed Jack Corridan running daily to and from his home on Crawford Street in Terre Haute, to St Patrick’s Elementary School was common. When he entered Wiley High School, he traveled the same route only more than a half mile farther. Corridan put that experience to work in high school, finishing second in the mile run in 1942 and winning the Indiana state meet in the event with a record time of 4:24.4 in 1943. That time bettered the existing mark by nearly two full seconds. Corridan’s record stood for 6 years. Corridan earned a track scholarship to Georgia Tech but his collegiate career was interrupted by service in World War II. When he returned to school he ran the 400-meter hurdles in addition to the distance events. Corridan was so modest and unassuming that he did not share his many athletic successes with his children. Jack Corridan died in Blairsville, Ga., age 80, in February of 2005.
