FRANKLIN - Paul F. Corey, age 50, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, April 14, 2016 at the Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans.
He was born in St. Albans on October 7, 1965 to Arlene (Jones) Santor and the late Gaylord Corey.
Paul was an outdoorsman through and through, the woods was his life. He loved cutting trees, hunting, trapping and fishing. Paul owned and operated his logging company, Broken Branch, for over 34 years. Pepper as he was affectionately called by family and friends, recently started a business with his wife called Mist Meadows. Mist Meadows gave Paul a chance to showcase his natural ability to fix or fabricate almost anything. Paul was a stubborn man at times, but he would do anything to help a friend in need.
He is survived by his wife, Melissa Friot of Franklin; his sons, Gage Corey and his son, Grayer of Montgomery and Jared Corey of Enosburg Falls, their mother, Donna Bohannon and her children, Josh Bohannon and Courtney Stetson all of Alburgh; his step-children, Brad Conger of Montgomery and Bree Conger of Enosburg and several other family members including aunts, uncles, siblings and nieces & nephews.
