Not sure what to say?

Dear Jim,Donna and family,
So sorry to read about the death of your father. Read about it on the internet while we were up north. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.
Love,
Mary and Buck

I got to know Mr. McCarger while officiating Arthur Hill basketball games. He was a fine gentleman who always had nice things to say to me after the game, even the nights when I did not do a good job. I only knew him fleetingly but he made a lasting impression. His family was blessed to have him for so long in their lives. Rest well, John.

A truely fine man.
His entire family can be proud of his many accomplishments in this life.
He will be greatly missed and always remembered.

He had a beautiful soul, and he lived his faith more than anyone I have ever known. What a blessed man of God he was. Jim, Cathy, Dave, Lori and all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren carry a part of him within them in this world, and those of us whose lives he touched are so much better for having known him.

It was my privledge to have Coach MacCargar both as a teacher and as a coach at Central Jr High in the 1953-54 school. I also knew Coach MacCargar as parent when I coached and taught at Eisenhower High School in the 1970s and we remained friends through the years when I officiated basketball games at AHHS while he kept score. Coach MacCagar is a shining example of what every teacher and coach should aspire to become. He was an outstanding human being.

Laura, So sorry about your dad. He was always a good friend.

Dave and Lynnea, My deepest sympathy for your loss. You are in my prayers. Gay Thomas
