My condolences on the loss of a great gentleman who personified duty, honor, country. His pride in his namesake and his granddaughter who followed him into the armed services was immense. I will miss his wonderful smile and the forthrightness of his manner. It was a privlege to be acquainted with him.

Mr. McMaster was my neighbor here on Flamingo St. I remember him as a very nice and kind man. He was involved in the neighborhood committee. Sorry for your loss.
