CELEBRATING
THE LIFE OF
Col. Corbin Marquand Sarchet, III
Col. Corbin Marquand Sarchett, III, also known to many of us around Orlando simply as Corb, passed away February 7, 2015, at the age of 83.
He not only was a leader and compassionate giver to our local community, he helped found the Fiesta in the Park Committee, thus
creating the annual Fall Fiesta in the Park in November, and eventually branching out with Spring Fiesta in the Park every April.
Along with founding the Fiesta in the Park Committee and these two amazing community events that take place at Lake Eola Park, Corb spent more than 50 years with the Boy Scouts of America, served as president of the Central Florida Council and was a Deacon, Trustee and Elder at Park Lake Presbyterian Church.
Please join us in celebrating the life of Corb, and his charitable efforts over the past 60+ years in our beautiful city. We will truly miss him.
