 WESTFIELD - Robert E. "Bob" McCormick, age 76, Westfield, NY, formerly of Fluvanna, NY, died Monday, January 7, 2013 at St. Vincent Health Center of Erie, PA.
Bob was born on January 9, 1936 in Jamestown, NY, the son of the late Ralph E. and Katherine (Young) McCormick. He served in the Air Force during the Korean war from 1958-1960. Bob was a 41 year member of the Loyal Order Of Moose Lodge # 118, and a former member of the John W. Rogers Post 327 American Legion and the Wm. P Jackway Post 6764 VFW all of Westfield.

I am so sorry for your loss. As Randy's friend, Bob was always the dad who said it the way it was- no nonsense and a heart of gold. He introduced me to sailing at the age of 16, was always willing to take us out to dinner, and truly seemed to enjoy who we were at a young age. His dry sense of humor was a true gift. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Written by Cathy Riscili-Staszewski 2013-01-11 4:25:35 PM
