Gerald "Corky" Corcoran

Corky was a pleasure to be around....through the pain and suffering of 8th Company as a Plebe he was always upbeat (except maybe when Broms or Mickelson got a hold of him). Later he was always ready to help when some of us were clueless about EE. I can imagine that his ability to keep his crew upbeat during the long periods at sea was invaluable. Karen, I am sorry I cannot make the Service as Penny and I are recovering from flu or something. Our prayers are for you and yours. I am sure...

To the Captain's surviving family, I was on 630 with him. May his memory be a blessing.

Gerald will be missed. He had a unique sense of humor. He loved his family and extended family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I have many fond memories of visiting him through the years at ceremonies in US, in UK, and Norwood, MA, the center of the Corcoran universe. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends as they grieve during this difficult time. Lisa Corcoran Silletti
