Thomas L Mccort

April 19, 1931 — March 28, 2010

On Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010, Thomas L. McCort's warm and generous heart quit beating.

Born April 19, 1931, Tom was raised in Akron, Ohio by his parents, Clement and Frances McCort deceased and with his brothers, Jim Mae both deceased, Ray deceased wife Dorothy, and Paul wife Judi and sister, Ruth McCort of Akron, Ohio.

Tom joined the United States Army. In 1952 during his first tour of Germany, he married Maria S. Mittermeier deceased and had one daughter, Evelyn. Together they lived in Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Alaska, finally settling in Colorado Springs after his retirement as a CW3 from the Army. Colorado Springs was home until 1995, when he reunited with Edna Mae Tennell of Hudson, Ohio. They married and made their home in Akron. With joy they together headed a family of seven: Evelyn of Colorado Springs, Colo., Cherie Watson deceased Craig, children Chase and Colton of Atlanta, Ga., Mary Ellen Leviton Mark, children, Ginny and Danny of Lilburn, Ga., Susan Milner Frank, children A.J. and Carl of Woodstock, Ga., Buddy Tennell Jean, child, Sam of Buford, Ga., Nancy Duncan David, children Matthew and Eric of Paramus, N.J., and Judy Tennell of Tucker, Ga. He is also survived by numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and friends in places far and wide.

Tom spent many of his retirement years volunteering for St. Thomas Hospital, where he was born and traveling with Edna. Tom faced the challenge of his many, many health issues with humor, patience and a zest for life. He will be missed by all.
