i am sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathy to your family.

Our sympathies to the McCray family. We have many great memories of our visits to your farm with my family. Our daughter was born soon after you opened the creamery & Mary would carry her around showing her everything. My in-laws (who have since passed) didn't drive & one of their favorite road trips with us was to your farm for family time & great ice cream! Your dad & the rest of your family have given us memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. For that, WE THANK YOU. Please know...

To Ann, It was an immense pleasure to know Don. I couldn't have wished for a better farm for my cows to go to. Don and I shared a kindered spirit that was severed before it could florish. I am sadened by his passing, but enriched by his happiness he had for his world and the people that touched him. Thankyou, Ann for your phone call, it meant a great deal. I wish you happiness in all its forms that arise from a life shared with a great human being.

Many precious memories of the farm.I would bring my kids there every weekend.He will be sadly missed by all who knew him and had the chance to visit his farm

Many wonderful memories visiting the farm, petting zoo, "Millie and Tillie" and the great bubble gum ice cream . . . my children knew going to Grama's house also meant a ride down to the McCray's farm.
Heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Mr. McCray.

Dear Steve and LindaLee and family,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Knowing first hand about this kind of difficult time, my heart is with you Steve. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Heidi, Todd and Jeremy T.

My condolences to the McCray family. My association with Don began in the late 50s when we played basketball in the hay barn formaly owned by the Bonneville family. Don was always cordial, friendly to us young people and was happy to be doing what he loved. We were treated like family. He will be missed.
