Joseph M. Corr *64

Joseph Corr, a lawyer, venture capitalist, and business owner, died suddenly Jan. 20, 2016, at age 75.

Corr graduated from Holy Cross College in 1962. In 1964, he earned a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering from Princeton; he earned a law degree from the Temple University School of Law in 1967.

He then practiced law at Boeing, Kilwanee, and Certainteed corporations. Later, he began a new chapter in his professional career as a venture capitalist and owner of several successful businesses.

Corr was committed to his Roman Catholic faith and community, volunteering for several organizations and serving as a board member. The National Fragile X Foundation was close to him, as several of his grandchildren are living with Fragile X Syndrome. He was also a quarter-century contributor to the Princeton Graduate School’s Annual Giving campaign.

Corr is survived by his wife, Janet; two daughters; and eight grandchildren.

Graduate memorials are prepared by the APGA.
