Poetic Obituaries: At Kent State University, where he taught

English from 1954 to 1979, Dr. [Edgar] McCormick made many friends throughout the years.

"When I came here 35 years ago, I was delighted to find a poet so eloquent," said Harold Walker, a former pastor at the Kent Presbyterian Church, where McCormick and his wife Cora Lee attended before she died last year. "He could speak about sadness, and at the same time about brightness--he could remind us that life was not simple."
