John Murray Cushman
January 28, 1946 – February 3, 2022
John Murray Cushman, 76, of Boerne, passed away on February 3, 2022. There will be no services.
John Murray was born on January 28, 1946, in Cooperstown, New York. He was adopted within his family by Palmer and Bernice Cushman in Rome, New York, at the age of 18 months. Known by all as “Jack,” he grew up in New York and, later, Maryland. He graduated in 1964 from Boonsboro High School while living in Hagerstown, Maryland, one of three area graduates receiving PTA scholarships.
Jack enlisted in the Army in 1968 and was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, as a Hawk Radar Mechanic finishing his Army duty as an SP5 Specialist 5th Class. Education after returning to civilian life put him in the path of computer program design – heading to the West Coast to work in the Los Angeles area.
Job opportunities brought Jack to San Antonio in the late ’80s, IT programming for area corporations. He retired from that career in 2001 to be available full time for the administration of Bear Moon Bakery Cafe in Boerne, Texas, a business started by him and his wife in 1995 and still currently operating.
Always inquisitive and quietly humorous, Jack mentored many and befriended all.
Jack is survived by his spouse, Paula Marie Hayward.
The family would like to express their gratitude toward UT Health San Antonio and its programs supporting people living with dementia. Also an immeasurable gratitude to the many “angels” in friends, relatives, customers and caregivers who looked out for Jack in this disease journey.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of the staff of Holt & Holt Funeral Home of Boerne. To share words of comfort with the family, please visit www.holtfh.com.
