A gleaming light extinguished from our world as we knew it on October 20, 2017 when our beloved brother, Edward J. McCormick passed on. That he will be greatly missed is an understatement. He was the best "big" brother to us and an awesome uncle to our son, Charles.
Ed was blessed in life with many gifts. He had the gift of humor, understanding, loving un-conditionally and caring deeply for all he came in contact with. The expression, "He would give you the shirt off his back." was so "Ed". He helped everyone that needed his help with unselfish pleasure and great satisfaction. He certainly didn't do it for the accolades. He did it because he cared.
When he was diagnosed with his illness in May of this year, it certainly was a great surprise to him and us. However, he accepted it with grace and his constant humor. Every time you would asked him how he was doing, he always responded, "good". He
never complained and stayed the gentle giant he was to the end.
Shannon and lit' Ed, you were both the apples of your dad's eyes. He loved you so much and was super proud of how of how you turned out in life. Just remember he will always be with you. You may not see him, but you will always find comfort and strength in his love. Your dad rocks and you know it!!! That won't change.
God bless our dear brother and his family, keeping you all in His care.
We love you all.
Chuck, Maureen & Charles
