Brother Jim McCabe Awarded National Lifetime Membership
July 15, 2010 by Joe McDonald
Filed under division news
Division 8 is proud to congratulate Brother Jim McCabe, who was granted National Lifetime Membership in the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
A member of the division since 1953, Jim has served as President, Vice President, Recording Secretary and Marshal.
He was born in Glen Cove on July 9, 1933 to Peter McCabe from Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan and Mary Ellen McCabe (nee Moran) from New York City. The oldest of six children, James graduated from St. Patrick’s School in Glen Cove. And then attended St. Michael’s High School in Conesus, NY, a prep school for the missionary Brothers of the Society of the Divine Word (S.V.D.) for three and a half years. Deciding that the religious life was not his vocation, he transferred to Glen Cove High School and graduated in 1951.
James then enlisted in the U.S. Navy in April, 1952. He was assigned to the USS Missouri right of boot camp and after a shakedown cruise that ship was off for Korea. He was on board that ship for three years and helped put the ship in “mothballs” the first time. He then spent a year aboard a submarine tender based in San Diego, CA.
After the service, James returned to Glen Cove, where he married Sophie Shepanski and together they raised two sons, James and Matthew. They are now the proud grandparents of five grandchildren.
One of his proudest moments as an Hibernian was assisting in the response to Cardinal O’Connor’s request that the Order fill St. Patrick’s Cathedral when protestors threatened to desecrate it. And in 2005 the Division awarded him with its highest honor, naming him Grand Marshal of the Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Jim helped keep the Irish tradition alive by joining the Thomondgate Dancers who performed at schools, nursing homes and feisanna and at public events such as the Tercentennial celebration in downtown New York City.
