McCORMACK
Leroy "Roy", 53, passed away peacefully in his home on February 20, 2015. Mr. McCormack, a lifelong resident of Tenafly, later Englewood, was a true Jersey boy and lover of Bergen County.

A good Irish lad, Roy was an active member of the Bergen Irish Association and a former Tenafly Lion. He loved live music and was an avid supporter of the Bergen PAC, as well as classic TV and Cinema. His lifelong residence in Bergen County included trips to Sanibel Island, Florida with his mother, a time he treasured.

Roy was a neighbor, and the brother of my close friend Jim. Roy was a good guy, who somehow got lost in the shuffle of a large family. He was always kind-hearted. Never a bad word to say about anyone. His passing is a loss for all of us.
