John had a great respect and love for the Corrigan family and employees, and the feeling was reciprocated.

John coached his son's baseball and soccer teams. His boys were the love of his life. He taught them to play baseball and ride horses. His greatest joy was spending time with them.

John never met a stranger. He had a way of making everyone feel important. He was the king of Dad jokes. He answered to many names--son, dad, uncle, coach, John Boy, Johnny Mac, Mac, and Pops. He had a strong faith, and his greatest wish was to pass on his faith to his family and friends.
