John McCormack Obituary

WHEN MEGAN WAS BORN I SENT YOUR PARENTS A CARD......I THINK IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT HOW THIS BABY WOULD BIND OUR FAMILES FOREVER. OVER THE NEXT 19 YEARS, ALMOST EVERY TIME I SAW YOUR DAD HE REMINDED ME OF THAT CARD.......HE WAS A LOT OF THINGS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I'M GLAD HE WAS BORN.........

Dear Mrs McCormack, Peggy and Family

I was saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Mr McCormack. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

Please accept our condolences on your loss. There are never adequate words to express our feelings, but as St. John of the Cross wrote:

"In the evening of our life, we shall be judged on our love."

Sincerely,

My Dad just told me about Mr.McCormack last night(Saturday),I am so sad to hear this,what a wonderful man.To this day I often think of him,being just a little guy and talking with him on your front porch,throwing us in the pool,or learning how to tie a knot on his giant shoe.I've always looked up to him,a true gentleman and role model.
My prayers are with all of you.

Oh my gosh, the memories of Mr. Mac, my carpool Dad. He taught me which mystery goes with which decade of the rosary, that Wally Phillips was "the man", how to live in the spirit of Christ, every side street between 84th Place and the Chicago Northwestern train station, and how to tell a corny joke!! He lives on in me and so many. I can hardly wait to see what he does for all of us from Heaven. My deepest sympathy, love and prayers to all the McCormacks! We will miss him.

Dear McCormack Family -

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr McCormack. How fortunate I feel to have known (and to have practically been raised by!) such an extraordinary man...a true gift from God. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.

Your families will be in our prayers.

Dear McCormack Family,
I wish I were able to join you and give you my prayers and love in person. Please know my family and I will be offering Mass for your Dad.
Much Love and Greatest Sympathy,

Dear Mary Carol and all the McCormicks,

I met your dad through my freind, Mary Jamie, and was at his home in Shelbourne, IN - I loved his Irish humor and wit and respected his devotion to family and church. The world needs more men of this caliber and I know you all know it. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality and that crazy dollar bill game we played on a couple different New Years Eves

Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Dear McCormick Family

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. McCormick. Him and your Mom were extremely good friends with my mom and dad, Pat and Jim Baker. I remember spending a great time during my childhood with my family, the Paulsons, and your family at your Wisconsin home many years ago. I know that there will be a special place in heaven for him and my wife and I express are deepest condolences on your loss. Our prayers are with you from my wife Linda, my son Bryan, and myself.

I will always remember your dad as a big, strong, first-rate, spiritual man who helped raise a wonderful family. Our prayers are with you all.
