The 77-year-old advocated for the construction of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant, but then went on to be a fierce advocate for Long Island rate payers.
Former LIPA leader Richard Kessel, who many times sat across the negotiating table from Cordaro, called him a brilliant executive, a tireless LIPA board member and a good friend.
