He leaves to cherish his memory his children, Dale McPherson and Stephanie Raisor; dear parents, Edith and Rex McPherson; brothers, Jerry McPherson (LuAnne), Tim McPherson (Janet), Chris McPherson (Tina) and Tommy McPherson (Susan); and a host of nieces and nephews who loved him so much. Mr. McPherson has been cremated. A memorial service will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Schoppenhorst-Underwood & Brooks, Preston Hwy. at Brooks Rd., where friends and family may kindly visit from 3-8 p.m. Tuesday. Expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to Kentucky Cancer Research.
