Michael Corallino Obituary
Michael Corallino, 57, of Mystic died after a long illness on February 20, 2017 at home in the loving care of his mother, Judith Fusconi.
Michael was born at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in New London, to Judith and his late father, Francis Corallino. He attended Groton Public schools, and graduated from Fitch High School in 1977. He married Donna Painter, who predeceased him. They lived in Richmond, Virginia for 28 years.
Besides his mother, he is survived by his sons, Christopher and his wife Tara of Richmond, VA, their sons Nathan and Joshua, and Stephen and his wife, Jennifer, of Charlotte, North Carolina. In addition to his children, he is survived by his two brothers, Francis Corallino and his wife Susan of Mystic and Raymond Corallino and his wife Chyna of Houston, Texas, several nieces nephews, his aunt Deb Bergeron, 3 step-sisters and a step brother. He was also predeceased by his step-father, Vincent Fusconi.
He spent most of life working in the grocery business, most recently at Big Y in Groton. He was a dedicated hard worker all of his life. One of his greatest joys was being at the beach, especially the Outer Banks and Misquamicut. He enjoyed working on cars and was an avid Beatles fan.
The family would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to the Center for Hospice Care –Southeastern Connecticut.

Judy, So sorry for the loss of your son. Parents never expect to outlive their children, and there is no loss that is sadder or more difficult to understand. But everyone that cares about you are thinking of you with deep sorrow and compassion.

Love and condolences to Judy, Sonny and Ray Ray. I am very sorry for your loss. Mike was a great friend to me in our youth, and was courageous enough to part ways when my life took dark turns. I looked for him often as an adult, with many fond memories of a TRUE FRIEND. Rest in Peace Mike and may God Bless your family!

My deepest sympathy to his family. I worked with Mike at Big y. It is because of him that I quit smoking. I remember ever Thursday when the sale changed, he would always have a fruit cup on his cart. He was like a little kid with a smile upon his face when I would pick on him and his morning snacks. It was a pleasure to have known him and work with him.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

So sorry to hear of Mikes passing. He was to young. My condolences to his family. He was one of my best friends when we were children.
I had the pleasure of laughing with him and discussing the good old days of our childhood with him before his passing. Rest in peace.
