  46. LORENZO & BERNADETTE CHIARELLA

    For years, I was a Eucharist Minister with St. Rose of Lima, visiting the elderly homebound and often needed a Priest to join me for the Sacraments of Last Rites and/or Reconciliation. Fr. Cormack, although retired, was so gracious as I could call him on his private cell-phone and we’d coordinate the latter. In fact, there were times when I need Father to drop everything (as it was an emergency), come by and pick him up and drive to the person in crisis for the Sacraments. Fr. Cormack, my wife and I spend much time dining for lunch or dinner and one time he cooked for us at his private residence when he lived at Christ the King Retirement. What a Godly, Spiritual, Kind and Holy man/Priest. Rest in Peace Father as I will never EVER forget you.

  54. Sarah Carroz

    We extend our deepest condolences to Father Cormack’s family. He loved you all and was so very proud of his nieces and nephews. We noted that the local obituary referred to him as “beloved priest.” Father Cormack was beloved, respected, caring and had great insight into life in general.

    When we last spoke with him, he was as up to date on the happenings in the world as he had been when we first met in 1985. Our sons were young teenagers and they loved being with him. Later he would marry one son and baptize our grandchildren.

    Thank you for sharing him with us. He blessed our lives. RIP

    Sarah & John Carroz
    Sons – John & Matt Carroz and families
