George C. Corbin, III George Clarence Corbin III was born on August 17, 1944 to the late Doctor George Clarence Corbin II, of Boston Massachusetts, and Lucille Gilliam Shepard, of Hopedale Ohio. He was the nephew of the late community icon Elma Lewis. George is survived by his mother Lucille Gilliam Shepard; his sister and her husband Valerie Corbin-May and Kenneth Dwight May; his son Gregory Michael Corbin, daughter in-law Darlene Corbin, and grandchildren, Kevvon and Tazmyn Corbin. In addition, George C. Corbin III leaves behind 7 nieces, 1 nephew, and 18 great grand nieces and nephews whom he saw on a daily basis, numerous relatives and many close friends. Much of George Corbin's adult life was spent in Washington, D.C. where he believed that life was "happening". George was always interested in something that hadn't hit the market yet and if he found an investor, a new venture was on its way. George was the kind of man that assisted destiny. Born in Boston, and raised in Braintree, it wasn't long before George left his school days behind and launched out to change the world through television, radio, and internet media. He found his niche as a great communicator. George loved a good debate and was passionate about economic policy, history, science, and analyzing patterns of change. He relished deep thought-provoking conversation, which was engaging to all people. He also enjoyed watching the Jets, the intensity of chess, and playing any game that involved a risk. At home, George was fondly referred to as a "peculiar duck" in that he was not concerned with conforming to the demands of the greater society. Instead, he found humor in the most bizarre scenarios, sincerity in Disney movies, and generally delighted in the "quirkiness" that makes individuals significant from one another. Although George became a successful producer and broadcaster (known for his work in New York, Washington, and Boston), twelve years ago he began to long for home. It was within the acceptance of his loving family that he found his place as "Uncle George". In the words of his best friend, John S. Hampton, "George tried to never miss a party or a meal". That's how we remember him too. He will be sorely missed, ever respected, and constantly quoted.
