12/13/12 - A South Lyon man whose father died when a tractor-trailer rig struck him on a Georgia highway near the end of a cross-country ride plans to finish the journey. Dan Cornell plans to arrive in Key West, Florida on Friday along with Joseph Muscato, who was injured in the July 26th crash that killed 64-year-old Pete Cornell. The semi hit Pete Cornell, Muscato and Thomas Clark near Dawson, Georgia. Cornellâs son left his South Lyon home earlier this month and headed to Dawson, where he picked up the trek his father wasnât able to complete. Pete Cornell had retired to Port Charlotte, Fla., and had completed most of a trip of thousands of miles that took him through Alaska and many other states. Dan Cornell (at right in photo) says the idea to finish the ride, which heâs making with the ashes of his father (at left) in a small urn, came to him after he woke up from a nightmare shortly after the crash.
