Alexander J Corini

Alex J. Corini, beloved husband, father, grandfather, teacher, and friend, passed away on March 12, 2026 in Hartsdale, NY surrounded by his loving family. He was born in the Bronx, New York, on June 11, 1941, to Larry and Marie Corini.

Growing up in the Bronx, Alex spent his childhood playing stickball in the streets, cheering for his beloved Yankees, and treasuring the lifelong friendships he made along the way. It was also there that he met the love of his life, Dolores, beginning a partnership that would endure for decades.

A gifted student, Alex excelled at Mount St. Michael Academy, where his hard work and intellect earned him a scholarship to Fordham University. After a brief period of service with the National Guard at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, Alex returned home to marry Dolores-marking the start of a love affair for the ages.

Alex discovered his true calling in the field of education. For 32 years, he taught social studies and coached at Carmel High School, where he shared his deep passion for history and baseball with generations of students and players. His lessons extended far beyond the classroom, and he was often humbled to hear from former students about the lasting influence he had on their lives.

Above all, Alex's devotion belonged to his family. Together, he and Dolores built a beautiful life, welcoming three children-Robert, Michael, and Alison-into a home filled with laughter, love, and learning. Family was everything to Alex, and he valued every moment spent cheering from the sidelines, sharing stories at the dinner table, and watching his family grow.

Alex's legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched through his teaching, his coaching, and, most importantly, his unwavering love for his family.

Alex embraced retirement with the same warmth and dedication that defined his life. He also found a special place of peace in Little River, South Carolina, which became his home away from home. There, Alex and his wife Dolores loved strolling along the beach searching for shells and shark teeth and taking relaxing golf cart rides-often with one or more of the grandchildren. It was a place that truly felt like paradise to him.

Above all, Alex found the greatest joy when his entire family gathered around the table-sharing stories, laughter, and an intense game of cards. These moments meant everything to him and will remain cherished memories for all who loved him.

Alex is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Dolores, son Robert and wife Anna, son Michael and wife Cecilia, and daughter Alison and husband Todd Hembury and his beloved grandchildren, Emma, Jordan, Tyler, John Paul, and Ava.
