Lived next to Mr.McCall in Camden as a child/teen in the mid to late 90's. Used to mow his grass and even painted the printer storefront. I enjoyed our interactions and am sad to see that he passed away.

So sad to hear about Earl's passing. He did my water tests for so many years for my Real Estate clients. He was way too young. Prayers to the family.
