Robert Michael Corrao

R. Michael Corrao Jr.

Robert Michael Corrao Jr., known throughout his life as Michael or Mike, peacefully transitioned to eternal life, surrounded by his family, on December 12, 2025. Michael was born on March 22, 1957 in Port Chester, NY, to Robert Corrao Sr. and Ann Corrao. He grew up in Yorktown Hts, NY, attended Lakeland schools, graduating from Lakeland HS, East Stroudsburg University, and SUNY Cortland with a master's degree in Exercise Science. On March 14, 1981, Michael married his beloved wife Kathleen Conklin Corrao, who survives him. Together, they welcomed four children, sons Michael of Phoenix, AZ, Brendan of Santa Barbara, CA, Brian of Hopewell Jct., NY and daughter LeeAnn of Fishkill, NY. Michael was the proud "Kuku" to Madeleine, Ivy and Damian. He was the owner and operator of Remodeling Alliance Inc. for many years.

Michael is survived by his wife Kathleen, their children and grandchildren, his father Robert (Jean) Corrao Sr., his siblings, Phyllis (Greg) Chadwick, William (Rose) Corrao, David (Ginger) Corrao, MaryAnn (George) Brittingham, Tom Corrao, Christopher(Maria) Corrao, Gordon (Erica) Corrao, brother-in-law John (Lisa) Conklin, his many nieces and nephews, extended family, and many friends who loved him and will miss him. He was preceded in death by his mother, Ann Corrao.

Michael was one of those people who was loved by everyone who knew him. His beautiful smile, twinkling eyes and infectious sense of mischief made him a favorite with all who knew him, and everyone who has ever met him has funny Michael stories to tell. He was a bit of a daredevil who enjoyed snowboarding, dirt biking, boating and anything that would give him an adrenaline rush and his parents or wife an anxiety attack. He was kind, generous, and stubborn. If he was told he couldn't or shouldn't do something, he would take it as a challenge. Michael lived his entire life and entered eternity on his own terms.

We would like to thank Hudson Valley Hospice for all their help and care during Michael's final weeks.
