Dear Family of Al Corona:  I am Beth, widow of Al's cousin, Alberto Carlo (Albert Carl) Cafagna of East Lansing. My husband was the other "Al" in that generation. They grew up together in Detroit, and my Al always looked up to the "taller and wiser" Al Corona. We enjoyed family events with Al and Bonnie many times, and were so pleased that Al had a great quality of life for so long. Thank you, Bonnie! My Al's brother, Michael ("Mickey") was a lot younger, but knew and admired Al's talents. Mickey enjoyed visiting with Al when the photographic job took him to California. I can speak for the families of my Al's deceased brothers, Don and Mickey, in sending their condolences along with my own. May you all cherish the good memories and gifts that  Al gave you during a long life, well-lived! Lots of love, Beth Greer Cafagna

I met Al in the late 70’s through John. I was known to him and many others as “Pix” a nickname that John gave me. I was fortunate to be able to be on many jobs with John and Al. Up north playing catch on the beach. In AZ stranded in Christopher Creek cuz the roads were snowed in and  FL Everglades to name a few. Visits to see Bonnie and Al in this last few years meant the world to John and me. Will miss you dearly and we will definitely keep Bonnie in our hearts and keep her on her toes with our visits! 
Love Pix

Saddens me to hear of Al’s passing, but what great times we had over the years at GM Photographic producing so many videos for the automotive world. 
Even the drivers education video “Safety Belts, for Dummies or People” 
My love to Bonnie and Tom and the entire family. Rest in Power Mr. Corona…and thank you for all the great years.

Al was my mentor, my work dad and a person I could laugh with endlessly.  I came to GM Photo as a young live video director having no idea there was an entire team of talented “film style”cinematographers, editors, producers and directors in place.   Al taught me as much as he could about the creative film world.  I loved him so for taking me in and teaching me all he could in the 8 years we spent together at GM.  Rest well old friend, you made such a difference in this world and were so loved.

Our deepest condolences. Carlos was an incredibly amazing man, husband, father, and grandfather, and we were blessed to have known him through my brother-in-law and sister, Paul and Christina. Our love, thoughts, and prayers to the entire family and for the repose of his soul. Eternal rest grant onto Carlos, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

The Director and the Cinematographer shoot the movie. The
Editor Makes the movie from the first frame of a scene to the
last frame of a scene, taking great care that each frame adds the proper feeling and purpose. Carlo A. Corona was the chief film
editor at GM Photographic through its most creative years,
carefully crafting literally hundreds of training films, Vehicle
Annoucement films, Dealer Programs-even Golf Films-the
legendary Buick Open.
He became a film and video Director of great talent, and eventually
was in charge of the whole GM Communications Department. it was my priviledge to call him my dear friend and colleague.
