Mr. McNaught,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I thought everyone might enjoy Grampa hamming it up one last time. The link below will take you to youtube and his rendition of "Red Head" , Tommy took this at my wedding(1994), the quality is not the best however it is stiil great to watch.

If Youtube and the internet were around 25 years ago he would have a million clips from his camera on it.

Grampa I am going to miss the afternoons visiting you and hear the same old stories over and over.
God bless
Mark

Pat, Kay and Janet:

Our prayers are with you all in this time of sadness.

What great memories we all have of your Dad and Mom and the rest of that crazy McNaught family. The memories will last forever. I have told countless stories of how incredibly fun every single family gathering was. I'm sure they are having quite the party in Heaven right now because there is no doubt that's where they all are.

Your Dad even taught mine how so sing "Redhead" - quite a feat I must add. He sang his rendition at a recent family party.

God bless you all.

Love,

Jerry and June McNaught and Family

Dear Pat, Kay, and Janet,
We are saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. This is truly an end to an era. We will always remember fondly Bill singing with Ted at all the family functions. It wasn't an event without their rendition of, "Redhead." I don't think I ever saw Bill without his beloved Dottie. They were so dedicated to each other.
Please know that we will always remember him with great times and fond memories. We hope those many wonderful moments will hold you in your time of sadness. God Bless you all.
