Obituary:
Timothy James "Tim" McCormick, passed away Friday, August 9, 2013 at the age of 96. He was born February 3, 1917 to the late Thomas and Sophia (Heideman) McCormick. In his late teens, while he and a friend were at a barn dance, he met and later married Myrna Wilson, daughter of Alvin and Mabel (Hair) Wilson. They were united in marriage at St. John's Church in Seymour on June 22, 1938, in a double wedding ceremony that included Tim's sister, Carmen, and Ray Kroner.
After living in Mill Center, then Green Bay for twenty years, Tim moved his family to the town of Lawrence, along Highway 41, where he operated an auto salvage. The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad also employed him as a machine operator. Throughout his life, Tim enjoyed horses; breaking, training, and participating in horse pulling contests.
Tim and Myrna bought a home in Wrightstown just before Myrna retired in 1977. Tim retired from the railroad in early 1979. Tim and Myrna celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1988 with Carmen and Ray Kroner. In 2003, Tim and Myrna celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. In retirement, Tim and Myrna traveled in motor homes around the country with the Coachman Association.
Tim was a member of St. Paul Catholic Church, Wrightstown, and has been a widower since 2004, when Myrna died after suffering a severe stroke. As Tim grew older, he enjoyed getting out to eat at local restaurants. The food at D & G Restaurant in Greenleaf, Van Abel's of Hollandtown, and the American Legion of Wrightstown, were his favorites.
He is survived by daughters, Mary Ehnerd, and Patricia (Dennis) Driessen; sons, James (fiancée Bonnie) McCormick, Michael (Connie) McCormick; grandchildren: Dan (Joanne) Ehnerd, Dave (Helen) Ehnerd, Phyllis (Mike) Phernetton, Jerry (Beth) McCormick, Eric (Terry) Driessen, Jeff (Sherry) Driessen, Terri Driessen, Laurie Schweitzer, Jeanne (Duane) Mossberger, Amanda Newhouse, Stephen (Holly) Diny, and Kevin Diny; great grandchildren: Casey (Craig) Wollard, Jason Hendricks, Zach Ehnerd, Dylan and Maddison Ehnerd, David and Walter Phernetton, Jessica (Kelby) Cuevas, Roberta (Brett) Morschauser Jacob and Luke McCormick, Kaelie, Owen and Caleb Driessen, William, Josephine, Charles, Olivia, Sophia, and Cecelia Schweitzer, Mason and Collin Mossberger, Kaden Newhouse, Riley, Autumn, Ella, Nicholas, Emily and Eric Diny; great-great-grandchild, Wyatt Wollard.

Obituary:
Clintonville - James "Jim" A. McCormick, age 76 of Clintonville, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by loved ones Sunday evening, April 8, 2018.
James Allan McCormick was born on January 19, 1942 in Green Bay as the son of the late Timothy and Myrna (Wilson) McCormick. He graduated from Wrightstown High School in 1960. On September 17, 1960, Jim was united in marriage to Judy Bowers. The couple raised their son, Jerry, and divorced in 1985. In the early 1960's, Jim started working for a men's clothing company called Unishops, which was affiliated with several chain stores in the East and Midwest. He was promoted to regional manager, and supervisor, and moved many times spanning a handful of states including Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, and New York. After the business receded East due to tragedies to its ownership, Jim moved his family to Clintonville in the mid 1970s. He drove truck for a furniture manufacturer and began driving for Arco Auto Carriers out of Chicago in 1978 where he delivered defense vehicles around the country. In 1980 Jim began his own independent trucking business. Jim and his son Jerry also had a small auto repair business in Clintonville from 1984-1988. Jim continued trucking during this time until the early 1990s when he became part owner of The Trading Post in Weyauwega. After selling The Trading Post he purchased the Knight Club tavern in Clintonville and renamed it Bits 'n' Spurs which he operated until his retirement in 2012. Jim met Bonnie Nielson while working at his establishment in 2007 and the couple became engaged and have resided in Clintonville ever since. In his spare time, Jim bought and sold horse equipment, loved to camp with Bonnie, and enjoyed listening to country music, especially Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash. Some of his favorite memories were of his teenage years building hotrods with the help of his dad.
