Steven F. Corbin

Steven F Corbin, 97, of Titusville Florida, entered eternal life on Sunday, May 24, 2020 at the home of his son Steve Corbin with his loving family at his side. He was preceded in death by his wife Jeanne Violet (Bernier) Corbin of over 63 years and 15 siblings.  Steven was born on July 12, 1922 in Fort Kent, Maine, a son of the late Francois and Rose (Saucier) Corbin, had resided in Haddam Connecticut for 29 years and then retired in Titusville Florida in 1997.

Steven left home at the age of 12 and joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) a work relief program that gave millions of young men employment on environmental projects during the Great Depression which helped support his parents and siblings. Steven joined the US Army and fought in the European Theatre until the end of WWII.  He was injured multiple times during the war in an infantry division and also was an interpreter being fluent in the French language.  After the war he settled in Hartford Connecticut where he met his future wife Jeanne Bernier.  For many years he worked at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft after which he and Jeanne started the Circle C Painting Company in Haddam until he retired.

Steven is survived by: his children Cindy Diaz, Nina Guevara & husband Jimmy and Steve Corbin & wife Gale; his six beloved grandchildren, Ryan Diaz, Daryl Robson (Dawn), Nicholas Robson (Christina), Christopher Robson (Lorena), Liam Corbin and Kieran Corbin; seven great grandchildren, Breanna Robson, Alex Diaz, Lucas Robson, Tyler Robson, Sophia Robson, Violet Robson and Olivia Robson; a sister Kay Clark of TN, along with many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Some of the best values Steve had ingrained in his family; when someone needs help...help them (dependability), always work as hard as you can and lead by example (commitment), always tell the truth no matter what (honesty), always fight to the end and never give up even in the face of adversity (courage) and to wear the Red, White and Blue like you mean it (patriotism) plus many others.

What he did exceptionally well as a brother, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and role model was; He didn't tell us how to live; he lived, and let us watch him do it!
