You will certainly be missed, Mayor McCormick. I wrote a song about Crossett many years ago and wanted to share the lyrics:
Crossett, Arkansas
Of all the places in the world I've been,
None keep me coming back again like Crossett, Arkansas
I lived there as a little girl and to me, it still means the world, Crossett, Arkansas
CHORUS:
Crossett, Arkansas
Where the pine trees tower high
Crossett, Arkansas
Underneath your big blue sky;
It don't matter where I roam, I will always come to Crossett, Arkansas.
I can close my eyes and see where my tire swing used to be
In Crossett, Arkansas
And each night I'd go to bed, as whippoorwills sang in my head
Sweet Crossett, Arkansas.
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG: Underneath your big blue sky,
I shall love you 'til I die
My hometown, Crossett, Arkansas!

RIP Mayor McCormick
