Our deepest sympathy to the McCaig family. As a former employee with 31-1/2 years with the McCaig's, it was an honour and pleasure to have known Bud, and to have seen the fairness and generosity that he extended to one and all. He will be greatly missed.

Bud was a blessing to all...
Sincerely,
Michael & Mary Ann Munro & Families
