It is a true privilege to have gotten to know Mr. McPherson over the last couple years. His smile was infectious, his sense of humor was exceptional, and even though our interactions were brief he and his lovely family have made an impression on my heart that I will cherish. Thank you for your service, sir. You will be greatly missed.
My thoughts are with his family and friends, please know you are supported and thought of!
