“THIS IS MY LIFE AS I SAW IT. I was born 11-13-1921 to father Charles and mother Clara McCormack on the bridge between Oregon and Washington. My birth was during the worst depression in our nation. I had a sister Marcella, brother Howard and sister Pat. I attended St. Marks School in Eugene. Grade 8 Years. High School 4 years. I attended Oregon Business College (graduated), then University of Oregon. Left U of O for the Army – “War Time.” Served my country. After the war I had several jobs. Landed in U.S. Army Engineers in Seattle. After that “gig”, I moved to Chicago to see my mother. Later returned to Eugene to work in banking. Oregon National Bank. While at this job I took “AIB” studies at the U of O nights. At this spot (bank) was the turning point in my life. I met the girl I married “Donna”. Things turned great. We married, left the bank, and moved back to Chicago. Donna worked at banks while I attended “Greer Automotive School” in Chicago. After graduation we left Chicago to Seattle. Hired on with then Standard Oil (later Chevron Oil). I moved to retail manager and we had family – daughter Barbara, and then a son Richard. Transferred to Bellingham and had daughter Patty and son William. Barbara in Education Oregon, Rick- Police Kentucky, Patty-Education, Bill- Food – all children graduated B.H.S. At this point my wife and best friend died and my life stopped growing. My only interest was watching my children grow – so I traveled around a lot. I enjoyed my church and going to the Vet groups. My belief is any one can be anything you want to be if you just do it. I thank my family for my long happy life. I go now to see my mother and my wife. As I always said, “I fear nothing except my God or my mother.” -Love you all Dad 2/20/2013.” Mac was preceded in death by his wife Donna McCormack in 1981 and his second wife Lenora McCormack in 2002. He is survived by his children, Barbara (Michael) McAuley, Richard (Ute) McCormack, Patty (Joe) Beaulaurier and Bill McCormack, grandchildren, Brian Johns and his daughters Deseree and Brooklyn, Robert (Vanessa) McCormack and their daughter Zoey, Jonathan (Holly) McCormack and their son Briley, Michelle, Nicole and Angela Beaulaurier, Payton, Jordan and Ella McCormack, sister Pat Boyer and many loving relatives and friends.
