Not sure what to say?

And did he not have a tour in between these stations? 1990, Submarine Development Group ONE in San Diego 1994 US Naval Activities, United Kingdom? A CAPT G. J. Corcoran, submariner was my CO at Cornell University NROTC. Was this not him? Anyone have a picture?

Corky and Karen were my wonderful neighbors in Summerville. Corky was smart, steadfast, honest, caring, and a loyal and trusted friend for over 28 years. I shall miss him greatly. Rest in peace, Corky.

I´m so very sorry to learn of Corky passing, what a wonderful friend and neighbor he was, we had so much fun meeting up with our dogs and sharing stories, I will always miss him. Rest in Peace my friend, God Bless.

So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I know he will be missed so much. He had a full and honorable life.

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
