Anthony John Corrado, Jr., age 68, passed away on Monday, January 25, 2010. He was a native of Hartford, Connecticut and resided in NWF since 1972.
Continuing his passion for all things Navy, he worked as a Plane Captain with LL3 at NAS Whiting Field, where he was affectionately known as "The Candy Man."
He was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. Known to his grandchildren and great-grandchild as "PaPa," Tony enjoyed every moment with them, from pretending to be a monster, doing magic tricks, and giving them rides on a four-wheeler.
Never one to turn down talk about Navy life, he looked forward to his breakfast with his buddies the first Tuesday of every month.
Other Comments:
Tony was a retired U.S. Navy Sr. Chief Petty Officer with 24 years of service. Among many other deployments, he served as a helicopter crew chief during the Vietnam War and a field team technical advisor in Iran, ultimately earning his Combat Aircrew Wings.
