Mac was a wonderful lifelong friend. Have thought a lot about our friendship in the last couple weeks and am realizing more and more how wonderful it was to be friends with him. I was so fortunate to have him in my life, and will always have those memories.

I am sorry for your loss. My memories of Mr. McCain are from the Y Day Camp - an imposing and very kind man, who I’m certain left a positive impression on many other young campers! May loving memories surround each of you during this difficult time.

Sandy and kids,
Some of our fondest memories of Karl St. were of the many chats we shared with you and Cam. He was such a sweetheart! You were all terrific neighbors. We hold you in our hearts as you navigate this difficult transition.
