This site is dedicated to the memory of Tony Corso.
Tony was born in London on 2nd February, 1929, and lived in Hounslow until joining the Navy when he was 17. He served for 12 years and during this time met and married Barbara. When he left the Navy, he and Barbara moved to Basingstoke, where they lived until moving to Christchurch after retirement.
Tony left us all on 10th August, 2008 after a short illness. He is much loved and missed by his wife, Barbara; his children, Helen, Andrew, Tim and David, and by all his friends and family.
These pages are a place for everyone who knew him, however briefly or long ago, to celebrate his life and share thoughts and memories. He spent many happy hours at his computer and would be thrilled to know he has his own web page.

Thoughts
I'm still missing you so much. And it's so disappointing that this memorial is being slowly degraded. They've taken your picture away, and the things I posted before.
They can't take the memories though

TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
Turning back the hands of time
To see the house I lived in,
To see the streets I walked on,
And there's the children when they were oh so small,
Step back with me.
If I can only turn the clock back,
Back to the days when we were oh so young,
To relive those days gone by
When love was new, we touched the sky.
And there's my father,
He's waving to me gently,
Oh how I miss him.
To touch the face of friends and loved ones,
To hear the laughter and to feel the tears,
What a miracle this would be,
If only we can turn the hands of time.
And there's my father,
He's waving to me gently,
Oh how I miss him.
To touch the face of friends and loved ones,
To hear the laughter and to feel the tears,
What a miracle this would be,
If only we can turn the hands of time.
Turning back the hands of time,
Turning back the hands of time,
The hands of time.
