Peter Corcoran age 89, formerly of Edina, MN, passed away after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. Thankfully, he had moments of lucidity until the end. Peter was born in Saginaw, Michigan, January 1, 1932. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 41 years, Irene (Etheridge); parents, Martha (Nester) and Charles Corcoran; a sister, Rosemary Howley; and a son-in-law, James Weinberger. He is survived by four children–Elizabeth Weinberger; Charles (Lisa) Corcoran and their children, Peter, Eric and Christine; Katherine (David) Weinberger and their children, Eileen (Jared) Novotny and their children, Gavin and Grayden; David (Stephanie) Weinberger, Bobby Weinberger, Olivia (Jeremy) DeVries and Christopher Weinberger; Christine (Charlie) Stibitz and their children, Irene Stibitz, Lisa (Marco Zamudio) Stibitz, Charlie (Kristina) Stibitz and John (fiancé’ Kaitlynn Burkhard) Stibitz. Peter is also survived by a sister, Martha Ann Joseph, and many nieces and nephews.

Peter attended Georgetown Prep, graduating first in his class in 1949 and was a football All-City Halfback in Washington, D.C. He majored in philosophy and economics at Georgetown University, then earned an MBA in Finance from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, followed by a JD from the University of Michigan Law School. Peter served proudly as a commissioned officer in the US Navy. Peter worked as a tax attorney, at General Motors, Dow Chemical, Dayton-Hudson (now Target), and DeBartolo Realty (now Simon DeBartolo Group.) More important than Peter’s esteemed career was his devotion to his family and friends. Reading, sailing, biking, skiing, canoeing, camping, Disneyworld and other trips with his children and grandchildren, volunteering, etc. The fond memories are endless. Peter biked 20 miles per day into his 80s, year-round, conditions permitting. He especially loved his summer home at the Tawas Beach Club in East Tawas, Michigan on Lake Huron. The cottage, and his many friends there, hail back to 1937 when his dad, Charlie, became a member. Peter was also a lifelong member of the Saginaw Club in Saginaw, MI.
