Obituary of Thomas R. Cory
Thomas R. Cory died at age 75 on May 28, 2022 in Salem, Oregon. Born in California, Tom lived all over the world as a child due to his father's diplomatic service. He returned to the U.S. for school as a teenager and graduated from Phillips Andover Academy. Tom earned his B.S. in aerospace engineering from Princeton University and his J.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles. After beginning his career at Adams, Duque & Hazeltine, he focused his legal practice on business litigation as in-house counsel for Bank of America then California Federal Bank.
