In early July 1944, the minister and congregation at Blackwell United Church honoured Private Core at a Sunday morning memorial service. During the service, an honour roll bearing the names of fourteen men who had enlisted in the Second World War from the Blackwell congregation and community was unveiled and dedicated. The unveiling ceremony was performed by Private James Somes, Royal Canadian Artillery and the prayer of dedication was pronounced by the Rev. P.S. Banes, of Point Edward.
When Blackwell United Church closed in 2014, the Honour Roll was moved to Sarnia Legion Branch No. 62.
