It has saddened me to hear about the passing of Mr. C. If it were not for the generosity of him, his lovely wife Helen, and his son Scott, my best friend at MMA, I would have probably not graduated. Thank you, Mr. C, from the bottom of my heart.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of your father. He was a great motivator for me in establishing the Senior Environment Corps for Elder Services. He was greatly missed by the SEC members when he left us to pursue other interests. Vin had great energy and enthusiasm and his parting is a loss to us all.

Dear Corsano Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Your father was an extraodinary man. He was a hardworker and unconditionally dedicated to the people and things he loved. I was blessed to have known him and to have worked with him on the Alumni Association Board. His humor, grace, commitment and sense of style are a few things that I will miss. God Bless you all and my prayers and thoughts are with you.
Vaya con dios dear friend....

Although we live in Florida now, we were sadden by this news. Vinnie would always say "yes" to go visit the homebound/sick and give them the Eurcharist. (I was a Past Co-Ordinator of The Ministry of Care at St. John's Church) He was a wonderful person and St. John's Parish will miss him lots.

God Bless you and your family in this most difficult time.

Helen was my secretary for my years in the Telephone Company in Cataumet Mass and was a wonderful person. I met Vinny many times when he came to our office also at her wake and funeral. He was a good man and a great husband to Helen and they are together again in heaven.

It is very sad to hear of the loss of a great classmate and a good friend. Vince was our unquestioned leader when it came to organizing alumni events and keeping us up to date on things. We have lost a giant. But he has been reunited with his beloved Helen.

We were long time neighbors of your Mom and Dad. We lived at 2 Harwood across from them and really enjoyed them both. The were truly special people with a special lust for life. We certainly were better off for knowing them both.
