IN MEMORIAM / Bob Cornell
Robert G. (Bob) Cornell, founder of industry supplier Cornell
Concepts, passed away on February 20. He was 83.
Cornell founded Cornell Concepts in the early 1970s,
and designed and produced molded plastic products for the

years ago, his wife, Dale Johnson Cornell, remains active in
the industry and heads the multi-line rep firm Dale B. Johnson
Associates (PPAI 110660).
Alongside his work in the industry, Cornell had a number
of hobbies, including music, the outdoors and architecture.
He designed and built more than 40 homes, and renovated a
number of others.
Cornell is survived by his wife; his children: daughter Karen
White and her husband, Greg; daughter Nancy Mussi; and
son, Stephen; his brother, David, and his wife, Joann; seven
grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and a number of nieces and nephews.
A memorial service was held for Cornell at St. John’s The Evangelist Episcopal Church in Duxbury,
Massachusetts. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Cornell’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Association.
