Gary L. Corbin, age 73 of Monroe, died Friday, November 20, 2015 at Meriter Hospital in Madison, after battling Acute Leukemia for 5 months. He was born on March 16, 1942, in Ridgeway, WI, the son of Phillip and Emma (Arntsen) Corbin. He was a graduate of Argyle High School. He entered the U.S. Army in 1964 and was honorably discharged in 1966, serving in the Army Infantry, 2nd Armored Division, and then eight years as a weekend warrior. Gary married JoAnn Ommodt Robertson on July 3, 1976.
He worked as plant manager for Oaktron Industries and for MTX for forty four years and currently worked in quality control at Colony Brands until becoming ill.
