Van Sam Correro, Jr. was born in Clarksdale, MS to Van S. and Nan Williams 
Correro, Sr on June 28, 1954. During and following his college years at the 
University of MS he found he had a talent for managing restaurants, which he 
did in Oxford and later in Hattiesburg, MS. In 1979, he settled in Monroe, 
LA, where he worked in institutional food sales. During his 20 years in 
sales, he became well acquainted with the local restaurateurs. After a short 
stint working in the juvenile corrections system, Sam retired on disability.

Sam was a devoted husband, father, uncle, and friend. He never met a 
stranger and managed to make an impression wherever he went. His presence 
will be missed by the many people that he came in contact whether they were 
close friends, family, or passing acquaintances. Sam was an avid 
outdoorsman. It was through his love of fishing and hunting that he found 
the most enjoyment.

Sam was preceded in death by his son, John Michael, and his parents, Van and 
Nan Correro, Jr.

He leaves his wife of 31 years, Jo Lynne Mangialardi Correro; a brother 
Michael (Tina) Correro; sister-in-law Sheila Buck, and brother-in-laws 
Andrew (Tammie) Mangialardi and Greg (Terri) Mangialardi; nieces/nephews: 
Madison and Bailey Correro, Ashley Buck, Marcie (Taylor)Patton, Will Buck, 
Andrew (Jessica) Buck, Drew Mangialardi, Ann Mangialardi, Paul Mangialardi, 
John Finley Mangialardi, and Alex Mangialardi; and grand-nieces Riley 
Patton, Kylie Wright, and grand-nephew Kaleb Buck.
