Michael R. McCord, 71, of Lititz PA, passed away unexpectedly Monday, January 23, 2023 at Lancaster General Hospital. Michael was born in Bradford, PA and spent most of his younger life in Eden, NY.

He was a humbly proud veteran who retired from the U.S. Air Force Reserves as a Captain after serving honorably in Desert Storm as a Flight Nurse and in Vietnam with the U.S. Navy as an Electronic Warfare Specialist. Michael loved photography, fishing, traveling, being a father and grandfather, and had an endearing dry sense of humor.
