Marybeth, I've lived in Athens since 1976, but still think of Savannah and Wilmington Island as my home. I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing, but remember him fondly. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

I have many fond memories of John. He was responsible for my joining Wilmington Island Baptist Church and made me feel so welcome. He was a true man of God. He has touched many lives with his Christian love.
My condolences to the family.

Thankfully I was able to visit with John over Thanksgiving.What a Testimony to God. He will always be remembered by every one who crossed his path! John showed his Love for GOD,his family,his church and anyone in need! John knew my Father Troy L Stanfield through Brown Trucking and RC Motorlines. I can see them together now in Heaven. Sharing stories, laughing,singing the old Gospel hymns.
God! Bless all of you at this time and Grant you the PEACE THAT PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING!

I served with John for 10 years at old
Wilmington Island Baptist Church. It
was a privilege to know him and serve with him in our Lord Jesus'
work. We will be reunited in the near future to serve our Lord forever.

John McCall was someone I will always remember. What a wealth of stories and life experiences! Besides being a great representative for the trucking companies he worked for, I considered him a friend.
My condolences to the family.
