Obituary for John D. "Jack" Corcoran
CORCORAN, John D. “Jack”
Jack Corcoran, 90, of Simsbury, beloved husband of 68 years to Alice (Dahlin) Corcoran, was called home by God his Father to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, June 12, 2017. Born February 28, 1927 to John and Mary (O’Flaherty) Corcoran, he grew up in Elmwood. He was a graduate of William Hall High School and Trinity College, a WWII Navy Veteran, and a member of the American Legion Hayes-Velhage Post. Prior to his retirement in 1988, Jack enjoyed a rewarding career with Exxon. Nicknamed “The Elmwood Express” for his football prowess in college, he remained an athlete and sports fan his entire life. He loved the NY Giants, NY Yankees, golf outings to Myrtle Beach, and duckpin bowling. His scrambled eggs and grilled cheese sandwiches were second to none. Jack was a quiet and gentle man of God whose life was a role model for his family and friends. In addition to his wife Alice, he leaves behind his son, Scott Corcoran of Simsbury; daughters, Cheryl Dube and husband Louis of West Hartford; Holly Langos and husband Ron (deceased) of Medina, Ohio; Lizabeth LaVigne and husband Kelly of Simsbury; seven grandchildren (Jeremy, Michael, and Philip Dube; Gregory and Jennifer Langos; and Emma and Jack LaVigne); seven great-grandchildren (Lillian, William, Owen, Madisyn, Caleb, Grayson, and Logan); and extended family and friends. Jack’s life will be celebrated on Monday, June 19 at the Sheehan-Hilborn-Breen Funeral Home, 1084 New Britain Avenue, West Hartford. His family will receive friends beginning at 9:00 AM followed by a celebration of his life at 10:30 AM. Burial will follow in Fairview Cemetery, West Hartford. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Apostolos, 2931 Ridge Road, Suite 101-141, Rockwall, TX 75032 or One In Christ, Inc., 13820 NW 172nd Avenue, Alachua, FL 32615.
