Not sure what to say?

Ok, I skipped the comments because everyone felt pretty much as I did, so why say the same thing over and over? Because Dr. McCain's care was more than we can describe.
One Christmas, maybe even Christmas Eve, I had a terrible ear ache and my mom called him after she had exhausted all "home remedies." He met us at the old St. Luke's on 8th St. And diagnosed it, correctly, as an inner ear infection exacerbated by hypoglycemia. This without modern technology and today's blood glucose...

Dr. McCain was a great doctor. He took good care of me the many times I had pneumonia. I will always remember him.

Our family is saddened by the loss of such a fine physician and human being. Dr. McCain was kind, compassionate and would always be able to calm my mother when I was sick or banged up from a failed adventure. He will be missed by so many and our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. McCain's family during this time of grief. Dr. McCain was wonderful to my family! He was a very caring soul who positively impacted countless lives!

Such a loss for us all, but what a gift to our Father. There are those who touch our lives and forever change us; Dr. McCain was such a person. I will be forever grateful to have been blessed knowing both he and his loving wife, Ms. Nita. Both he and his wife are two of the most beautiful persons I have known. My most sincerest condolences to his family, and most of all, Ms. Nita.

I was born at St. Vincent's in 1957, my brother in 1960. Dr. McCain was our pediatrician. All these years later I can still remember what a sweet man and excellent Doc he was. I am SO glad to know that he was a man of The Lord too! I was truly saddened when my parents told me of his passing. My prayers for his family in their time of sorrow.

Our loss, but angels are rejoicing at another faithful soul's home-coming. Great man, great father-figure, and great example of living for Jesus. Will always remember his Key Lime pie and his love for nature and all things good. Wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends who loved him so.

Nita, Steve, Jim, Bronwyn and respective family members,
We were deeply saddened by Dr. Jim's passing. We all know that Heaven is now his home. He will be missed. Dr. McCain was a gentle man, wonderful doctor, and as a Christian man, he was humbled before the little children he cared for , medically, over the years. They were his calling and he excelled.
Nita, remember when Bo used to do your yard work? That just doesn't seem that long ago, does it? You are in our thoughts and...

Dr. McCain was my pediatrician many, many years ago. I am sixty now but I still remember him as a caring physician. May God bless you and your family.
