John Corcoran Obituary
Concord, NH — John Andrew Corcoran, age 75, died Monday, July 11th, 2022 at the Presidential Oaks Nursing Home in Concord, NH after a long illness. He was born on January 30th, 1947 in Boston, Mass. to James and Justine Corcoran. The family moved to NH when John was young. He graduated from Concord High School in 1964. After graduation, he started a family and worked for the Verizon telephone company until he retired. In his later years he split his time living half the year in Loudon, NH and the other half in Bonita Springs/Punta Gorda Florida.
In his younger days, John enjoyed hiking, woodworking, and riding his motorcycle. As he got older, he loved watching movies/tv shows, enjoying a good meal, and having great conversations with anyone who crossed his path. He was a mentor for many people in the AA community and will be remembered for his willingness to help others and share his wisdom.
He is survived by his son, Michael Corcoran of Concord, NH, his daughter Jennifer Corcoran-Lahey (Mary) of Weare, NH, his brother James Corcoran (Karen) of Loudon, NH, his grandsons Nicholas and Brandon Corcoran, his great grand-child Brandi-Anne Corcoran, as well as many other nieces, nephews, and family members. He was pre-deceased by his sister, Jane Degreenia, his brother Jeffrey Corcoran, and his parents.
A Celebration of Life will be held to honor John at Eustace Hall, 50 Bradley Street, Concord, NH on August 13th, 2022 between 1:30pm-4:30pm. A private burial will be held by the family at a later date.

Sorry to read of John´s passing. Worked with him at NE Tel. Had many laughs together. I know he enjoyed riding his motorcycle. May he Rest In Peace.

John was instrumental in my early days in the program. I remember many rides in the ole Blazer Friday nights up to New London Hospital for a meeting. Vehicle packed with Friends of Bill, cigars blazing, windows down, Gypsy Kings blasting on the CD player. It was moments like this that convinced me I could live a clean life and that there were guys that would help me, be fun to hang with, and would have my back. Vaya con Dios Mi Amigo.

I remember John from school. When I was having a bad day he was always there. I will always remember his kindness.
