Not sure what to say?

Took me under his wing when I was 18, my first duty station, Norfolk, and I knew nothing. Never forgot his kindness and mentorship. Remember him talking about Jett. That was 1968-1969

We just learned that our friend "The Box Man" and his wife Opal both passed away last year. We were wondering why we hadn't heard from him during our Lavender Faire or during the fall craft shows. They were a great couple and loved each other deeply.

Our thoughts and prayer's are with your family during this difficult time.


I did not have the privilege of knowing Master Chief McCann but was fascinated by his dedicated service of 43 years in the US Navy, serving in three major wars, traveling the world, and going on to a 2nd career in the antique business.
I can somewhat relate to Master Chief McCann's career in that the training I received while serving in the Navy during the 1950's served as a springboard to my 40 year career retiring from NASA in 1994. I feel that we are truly a Navy family in that...

What a wonderful man! I was very lucky to have worked with him in the early 1980s at the military personnel office on the navy base here in Mechanicsburg. Master Chief was a true gentleman and I'm so sorry you've lost him.
