He may have been “God’s gift to women” to the ladies, but he was God’s gift to our family, his friends and all he met. Love ya Dad!
Mr. McCormick was certainly God’s gift to humanity! No sunlight between word and deed in his case. That’s the very definition of a Gentleman’s gentleman. Peace to the legions of people who loved him and continue to.
