To the McBride Family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of this dear man. He was one of a kind. He had a heart of gold and a smile for everyone. He always asked about my boys each time I saw him. May he be in the arms of our Lord now and forever.

To McBride Family,
I had the privelege of knowing Coach Mac through coaching against him. It was an honor to be around this man. He truly loved the kids and he always taught them something besides just sports, he taught them about being good in everything they do. He will be missed greatly but his memories will forever be with us.

Dear McBride Family,
What a blessing "Coach McBride" was to so many children. We are blessed to have known him for his coaching during our boys years at St. James School and as a friend. He donated untold hours to helping build character and christian attributes through his coaching and volunteering hia service in many different areas.
His friend and cohort of many years, "Bill" Cooney just preceded him in death. I can just imagine the reunion these two are having in the'sports arena in the sky'.
May he be welcomed into his heavely home.
Deacon Bob and Dell O'Neill

Denny and Kerry,
I am sorry to hear of Mr. Mac's passing. He was a great man who left a lasting impression on every young man who played football at St. James. It's a shame that we will never again hear "hit the big field Hoss."

McBride Family,
I am so sorry to read of Mr. Mc's passing. I never had the pleasure of playing for him but always loved him as a man and a competitor. Mr. Mc was a great American and there are not many left. May the Lord Bless and Keep you all and may He rest in peace.

What a legacy this great man has left. He is truly indeed a Saint. Our Family will miss, but not forget, Mr.McBride coaching our boys at St. James, giving our Father Holy Communion on Saturdays after church, and stopping to talk while walking in the neighborhood with his sons. May God Bless.

Coach McBride was as good friend and mentor to many young children. His many years of coaching Football and Track at St. James will be greatly missed. Even as a competitor of "Mr. Mac" I always had the utmost respect and came to love him as many of his players did over the years. Coach Mac always had the best interests of the players and school at heart. My condolences to the entire family in this time of sorrow. Coach will be greatly missed by all.

Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time of loss. Your daddy was a wonderful man...a hard working man, with integrity, with a smile that could warm the coldest heart. He had a generous heart, so full of love that it touched and influenced many, many lives. He will be missed by many. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, coach, and friend. He leaves behind a wonderful family who will carry on the McBride name and honorable character.
