   The younger Corsetti often tagged along with his father and worked as an office boy on weekends while he was still in school. Corsetti dropped out of school to join the Marines in 1966 and served three tours of duty in Vietnam, including the Tet offensive, his father said.
   
   He was injured when he was driving a group of Korean marines through a demilitarized zone and his truck struck a land mine, killing all but Corsetti. He never sought veterans benefits for the injuries, saying he considered himself lucky to be alive and walking.

He worked for the Herald American - which became the Boston Herald during his tenure - from 1969 until 1983. For the last 20 years, he worked as communications director at Commonwealth Auto Reinsurers in Boston. He moved to Plymouth five years ago.
