The Greater New York Home Furnishings Association announced that Patrick Cory, Vice President Sales of of Cory Home Delivery Service  was presented with the Meadoff Award For Sportsmanship.

The award was presented by Gail Meadoff with some additional words of wisdom added by former Meadoff Award winner Joe Cory, Sr., at the The 65th presentation of this coveted award during the GNYHFA's golf outing.

Pat Cory, who is an active  member of the Board of Directors of the Greater New York Home Furnishings Association received the award while his family and many associates of Cory Companies looked on.

Initiated by the late Hal Meadoff in honor of his father A.S. Meadoff, the award has been continued by Hal's family and is now known as the "Meadoff Memorial Award for Sportsmanship".

Sportsmanship, as defined by this award, does not signify skill or performance. It has to do with a person's sense of fair play and fair-mindedness. Personal relationships in the industry, social consciousness and support of humane and philanthropic causes are attributes carefully considered by the awards committee. These were the characteristics that Sam Meadoff had, which made him so revered by his peers.

Former recipients meet each year to review and choose an individual to receive this honor.

The Meadoff Memorial Award for Sportsmanship is one of the most coveted Awards in our Industry, since it is the "person" not merely a position or title being recognized.
