Paul Corcoran, 40, had an infectious smile that lit up a room and was a kind and genuine bloke who did anything for anyone, friends of Mr Corcoran told the Daily Liberal yesterday.

A close family friend said Mr Corcoran was a man to whom family was central, and the spin-off from this was that the community benefited from his continuous efforts and contributions.
