Dear McCormick family, I am very sorry for your loss; he was a genuine and funny man. As my first "boss" on Cape Cod, he was my introduction to the standard for all restaurants here during the summer. I will always remember his great spirit and his command of the Ebb Tide, and my thoughts are with you and your whole family at this tough time.

I am proud to say my dad went to school with your dad at Ezra Baker. We are honored to be graduates of The Ebb Tide School of Excellence.
