JOE MCCAIN
COMMERCIAL POINT-Joseph "Joe" La Rue McCain, 83, of Commercial Point, Ohio, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 after a brief illness.
Joe was born August 20, 1933, a son of the late Charles Stanley and Emma Justice McCain in the old home place on Fallen Timber in Lucasville.
He was a decorated US Army veteran serving in the Korean War and retiring in 1971 with 20 years of service. After retiring from the Army he made his home in Circleville and worked several years for the United States Postal Service and Beaver's Tile Company.

Joe loved people, and his family was his life. He had a talent for making everyone feel special by always remembering everyone's birthdays. His love of family and caring qualities made him special to all. He had a passion for golf and loved to tell humorous stories.
Funeral services will be conducted at 1:30 p.m. Monday, August 29, 2016 at the McKinley Funeral Home in Lucasville with Rev. Lowell King officiating.
