McCreary Named De puty Grand Knight—Coun cil to Parade September 12 From The Augusta, Ga., Herald. J. B. Corcoran, who drowned re cently at the Plunkctt-Wilkinson bathing pond,, was a great favorite witli the patients at Lenwood Hos pital, where he served as secretary of the Knights of Columbus and in many other capacities. The fol lowing tribute to his memory was written by a Lenwood patient. “In the death of Mr. Corcoran, the patients of the Veteran’s Hos pital No. 62, Augusta, Georgia, felt a personal loss of a dear and true friend who was always ready with a kind word, a smiling face and a helping hand to all alike. He was noted for his acts of kindness to all the Patients, and he proved by his actions that he was always in terested in the ex-service nun. In deed, wc feel that the loss of this friend can never he replaced here, and in the years to come, the work that he did here will always remain fresh in the memory of all the patients. “Mr. Corcoran was secretary of the Knights of Columbus, physical director and captain of our baseball! team. Every clay he made trips to the wards and distributed cigarettes, chewing gum, candy, chewing tobac co, combs, tooth brushes and a cheerful word to all. lie has been called to a higher work hut the good work that he did here will never be forgotten. Would that it were in our power- to eulogize this friend in a manner more fitting, hut the writer of these lines feels that his vocabulary is not complete enough to do justice to the life work of Mr. Corcoran. Of tl]is man it can ho truly said his untimely death. He is missed now but in the weeks to come and the years to follow, we will miss “Jack” more and more. His smiling face is seen no more kind words fn:m smiling lips arc 1* ard no more, but in our memories are in delibly engraved the kind words that be has spoken to us and when the kind Father above writes FINIS to this world of ours, we hope that in the world to come we willl clasp once again the hand of our departed Buddy.’* Special to The Bulletin.
