Michael F. McCormick
Michael F. McCormick
In 1980, Mike married his sweetheart and love Betty (Scott) McCormick and for three decades resided in Madison, and lived with their daughters Michele and Jana. Upon retirement in 2013, they moved to St. Germain, which they have called home for more than ten years where they have enjoyed unparalleled views of the Northwoods. He loved sharing stories about his Army days and high school days in Evansville. Mike was a curious and inquisitive guy. His passion was family, gadgets, and technology. Whatever he did, he was all in! Mike had a multitude of jobs but found his niche with computers and was self-employed for many years that even continued into retirement helping family and friends daily. Mike enjoyed golfing, riding his bike and his three-wheeler. He mastered Wii Brunswick bowling and golfing. His self-imposed code name was Chainsaw — what a sense of humor he had.
Mike is survived by his wife Betty (Scott) McCormick; their children, Michele McCormick (Paul) and Jana Strehlow; their grandchildren, Niki, and Sara Strehlow; his siblings, Gary (Betty) McCormick, Bob (Michelle) Pokorney and Linda McCormick; also survived by many close in-laws, nieces, nephews, many other family members, and close friends. Also, his loyal barking sidekick, Rubi.
Preceded in death by his parents, Alexander McCormick and Dolores (McCormick) Moyes; and Infant sister, Mary Beth.
An incredibly special thank you to his care team at Davita Northern Star in Woodruff and all his doctors and nurses at Marshfield Clinic in Minocqua.
Mike’s final message: “I enjoyed life and spending time with my family and friends. To all my golfing buddies: I’ll see you on the golf course in heaven, hopefully (LOL)!”
Excerpts from unknown author: “Don’t grieve for me now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. God wanted me now. He set me free.”
