Mr McCormick was an Icon @ HELCO, where he treated workers respectfully and fairly. In wages, benefits and working conditions he was very considerate, cultivating an atmosphere of family, over the years. His service during WWII was legendary, as was his modesty of his war record. The Greatest Generation has lost another. Sincere condolences to the McCormick family.

I met Mr. McCormick when he was 89 and he quickly became one of the most inspiring people I had ever met. His genuine interest in people no matter age, background etc. always impressed me. I was delighted to run into him just a few years ago and though he was sketchy on how he knew me, as always he was happy to sit and chat with me. May all his family be at peace.

To th McCormick Family:
Joe was a delightful man who was probably one of the most interesting gentleman I have ever met. I loved to hear his stories of old Bloomfield. What a truly remarkable man.

To the McCormick Family - while Perrin has spent many hours regaling me with stories of Grampy Joe, I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I felt I had a good sense and I know where Perrin gets her sense of humor from. Mine and my husband Evan's heartfelt sympathy's on this great loss

We extend our deepest empathy and sympathy to the family of Great Uncle Joe with the passing of a wonderful man who lived a full and vibrant life. So much like Grand Dad Howard. May many warm memories sustain you through this difficult time.
