I worked with Joe at Sundstrand Turbomach in the Integrated Logistics Systems group.  We shared an office for many years and became close friends.  I have thought of him quite often and tried to stay in touch. He was a great person and will be missed, but I'm so glad that I met and worked with him.  "Fair winds and following Seas."

Bud Hoff and I served with Joe Corsi as new Ensigns with VF 64, NAS Alameda and aboard the carrier USS ShangriLa. We could not have had a better friend or more knowledge shipmate. Joe Corsi had a wealth of experience under his belt as a former Chief Petty Officer and he was certainly the go-to guy in our squadron.
Our paths but not friendship went separate ways but Joe was among the returning squadron members at our reunion and we were all so glad to renew our connections. He is one naval officer who will be quietly missed.

I met Joe Corsi in 1956 when he was a brand new Ensign assigned to VF-64 . Joe was a bundle of energy and  directed carrier deck personnel to ensure  the VF-64 Banshees and then Demons got the best care.Joe was always a  gentleman and outstanding officer who if serving today would have been promoted  to Captain but years ago limited to CDR.Joe  will remain in our memories  and attended the VF-64 reunions we had in Monterey and San Diego until we lost our exceptional  leader VADM Howard Greer USN-ret who was same age  as Joe and passed away 2 years ago.

We are heart broken and deeply saddened by the news of Joe's passing.  We send our deepest regrets to the entire family.   Joe was one of the finest and honest guys that I ever met.  He was a great mentor and trusted friend of mine.  I will truly miss you Joseph A. Corsi.  Until we meet again my friend, may you rest in peace and have forever glory of our lord looking over you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Joe Corsi was an Officer and a Gentleman of the highest regards.  His demeanor and outgoing personally made all feel welcome to Post 289.  Thank You Joe for all your efforts and accomplishments, truly an honor to have known you, may you rest in peace.       

A good friend and a great shipmate. May you rest in peace!
