Although I only met Mr. McGann one time I know he leaves behind a beautiful legacy through his family. His honesty, basic sense of decency, and devotion to his family is witnessed daily through his wife and children. I work with his daughter Patricia and based on our many conversations, Mr. McGann was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather and I know he will be greatly missed by his family. To his entire family, I send my deepest sympathies. I know this is not an easy time for any of you. Please know that our Lord Jesus Christ has His arms wrapped around each and everyone of you and is there to hold you up and get you through. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
