John "Jack" Cusick Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 1, 2024.
John Matthew "Jack" Cusick, lost his battle to COPD on June 29, 2024, at home surrounded by his family. Jack was born on May 12, 1961, in Gloucester, during the union strike on the waterfront. His father wanted to name him " Striker" but his mom Margie won that battle. John Matthew "Jack" was the baby of five. He loved his family deeply and was a devoted father. Jack had a strong worth ethic and worked on many fishing vessels, he had a deep passion for the sea. Jack also had a love for nature and animals. He spent numerous hours tinkering in the garage and the garden, there wasn't anything he couldn't fix with duct tape and a soup can just like his father. He was survived by the love of his life, Barbara , his four children Nick, Kasey, John-John, Landen and two granddaughers Grace and Olivia. He also left behind his three brothers, Rick ,Pat, Brian and his sister Janelle along with an extended family that will love and miss him dearly. He was predeceased by his parents Richard and Margie Cusick. A funeral mass will be held at St.Ann's Church on Saturday July 27th at 11am at the Gloucester Fraternity Club. In lieu of flowers you can make a donation to the children of the family . An account has been set up at the Cape Ann Savings Bank for The Cusick Children.

I had so much fun all throughout the 80s with Jack.
I don't think there was ever a day we didn't laugh. He was one tough kid, but also very generous. I lost touch with Jack for about 20. He is, but the last 5 we spent a lot of time together. He would told my machine whatever I want it anything I needed from the scrap yard. He made sure he called me.
I'm going to miss him. We have a lot of great memories together. Love you, brother, rest easy. See you on the other side for more laughs.

Jack had came up with the name "Georgie" that he´d call my daughter. He would sit and watch Curious George with her and that´s where the name came from. Every time we´d see him, they would call each other "Georgie". The love he had for everyone thats met him was unmatched. No matter the circumstances, he never failed to make us laugh. Rest in Paradise, Jack.

Not too many people could outrun me, but Jack could. Many times I chased him up and down Popular Street to get him to come home for Margie before tricky Dick got home. He was like my kid brother back in the day. I´m so sorry to lose one of my Cusick brothers.
