Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. So glad we were able to visit with you guys a couple of years ago. Sorry this is so late but just found out about his passing. We sent a contribution to Kings Harvest Pet Rescue and we have moved to Florida in April of this year. Really like it and don´t have to put up with Iowa weather. God Bless

I was a catcher on Coach McDermott's 1966 NW Little League all star team that went to the state finals in Marshalltown, Ia. What a wonderful coach and great father and husband. My condolences go out to Barb and all of his children and grandchildren. He was truly an amazing human being and a coach that I will never forget!
