GREENWOOD Robert P. McCormick, 88, passed away peacefully at home Saturday (Feb. 20, 2010), surrounded by family. Mr. McCormick was born on July 6, 1921 in Hornell to Paul J. and Irene (Bess) McCormick. He was a 1939 graduate of Wellsville High School. On Nov. 3, 1945, in Blessed Sacrament Church in Andover, he married Mary Teresa Burns, who predeceased him on Dec. 13, 2001. Robert owned and operated McCormick Farms on Greenwood Hill, a dairy and potato farm, from 1943 until the present. Bob is survived by four daughters, Mary Jo (Courtney) Smyth of Leola, Pa., Anne (Chris) Roser of Andover, Eileen (Dennis) Canty and Mary Camille (Patrick) McHale, both of Hornell; two sons, Jim (Karen) McCormick and Michael (Christine) McCormick, both of Andover; two brothers, Neil (Patricia) McCormick of Florida and Paul (Charity) McCormick of Andover; 16 grandchildren, Courtney (Jennifer) Smyth, Sean (Julie) Smyth, Katie (Tim) Rementer, Matthew (Christina) McCormick, Maherly (Joe) Schaeffer, Meghan (Michael) Stefanucci, Daniel Roser, Rob Roser, Maria McCormick, Michael McCormick, Caitlin Canty, Brennan Canty, Bryan Canty, Kevin McHale, Kasey McHale and Timothy McHale; 7 great grandchildren, Caeleigh Smyth, Brady Smyth, Cal Smyth, Ryan Rementer, Meredith McCormick, Ewan McCormick and Rosemary Teresa Schaeffer; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. Bob has been a lifetime parishioner of Blessed Sacrament Church. He was a past member of Knights of Columbus and was an advisory board member of Andover Citizens Bank. Always an outdoorsman, he enjoyed working his farm and in later years, wintering in Florida. But more than this, he cherished the time shared with his wife of 56 years, the many joys of raising his six children and the times spent with the grandchildren and his many friends. Friends may call on Tuesday from 3-8 p.m. at Baker-Swan Funeral Home in Andover. There will be a Mass of Christian Burial on Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church in Andover with Rev. Sean DiMaria as celebrant. Burial will follow in Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Memorial contributions in Bobs name may be made to Southern Tier Hospice, 11751 East Corning Road, Corning, NY 14830 or Blessed Sacrament Church, Elm St., Andover, NY 14806. |
