Joe is survived by his wife Lorraine and children, Suzanne Corr, of Westerly, Geoffrey Corr, of Charlestown and Sharon Corr, of Westerly; four grandchildren: Jacob Fernstrom, Meghan Fernstrom, Clark Califf and Janna Califf. He is also survived by his sister Anna Seeders of Fayetteville, Ga. Joe was predeceased by his brothers, Edmund, Charles, George and Robert Corr. All services will be held privately at the convenience of the family at Fuller Funeral Home, East Naples. Contributions may be made in his memory to St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 1101 N.

Lorraine, I have very fond memories of working with Joe at Pfizer's Bldg 4. He was always in bright and early to get the team organized for the day and greeted everyone with a huge smile as they entered our lab/office area. I especially appreciated his patience with a young engineer who seemed to always be awaiting key data from sample analysis in his lab. He was a wonderful guy.... may you be comforted by your loving memories.
