Joseph Corr
March 14, 1940 — January 20, 2016
Joseph M. Corr of Newtown Square, PA, passed away suddenly on January 20, 2016 at the age of 75. He was the devoted husband of Janet Hullick Corr, beloved father of Pamela (Chris) Stewart and Alexis (Evan) Davis, and "Grandad" to Lucy, Buddy, Joe and Piper Stewart; and Sophie, Cece, Michael and Lila Davis.
Born in Philadelphia, Joseph was the son of the late John A. and Helen Fallon Corr. Brother of Paul (Mary) Corr, Dr. Gerald (Christina) Corr, Grace Corr Haenn, Jeanne (Hon. Thomas) O'Neill, Ann (Torr) Potterton and the late Martin (Mary Lee) Corr, as well as Uncle Joe to many nephews and nieces.
"Joe" graduated St. Joseph's Preparatory School '58, Holy Cross College '62, Princeton University (Masters Aeronautical Engineering, '64) and Temple University School of Law '67.
He was a respected and accomplished athlete, scholar, lawyer, colleague, and business owner. After practicing law for several years at Boeing, Kilwanee, and Certainteed, Joe started a new chapter in his professional life as a venture capitalist and business owner of several successful companies.
Joe was committed to his faith and community, volunteering for several organizations and serving as a Board member for Our Mother of Sorrows/St. Ignatius School; St Mary Magdalen Charity Board, SJP...Men for Others, and the GESU School.
Always a kind smile and a joke in hand, Joe's interests ranged from football and golf, to Florida time with his wife and soulmate, Janet, and a good ole' cigar with friends and family far and wide.
Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing Monday, January 25th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and Tuesday, January 26th from 9:30-10:20 a.m. at The Donohue Funeral Home, 3300 West Chester Pike, Newtown Square (610) 353-6300, and to his Funeral Mass, Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Magdalen Church, 2400 N. Providence Road, Media, PA.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Joe's name may be made to the National Fragile X Foundation, an organization close to heart as several of his grandchildren are living with Fragile X Syndrome. https://fragilex.org/support-the-nfxf/donate/
All are invited to a luncheon at Overbrook Golf Club following the mass. Family will join following private interment.
