Very few people have left such a big footprint in life as Dr. McCann. He was a remarkable man and will leave a lasting and fond impression on all who had the priviledge of knowing him. Our heart goes out to you Beth, and each member of your family, during this sad and difficult time. You each have our deepest sympathies.

Beth, Daniel and Family, I would like to let you know how sorry I was to hear about Dr. McCanns passing. He was a very special man. I always enjoyed talking to him and Beth, and Daniel at my old dental office in Tiburon. If I can help in any way, please let me know. It would be nice to hear from you. your old friend, Gina Nelson
