It’s so sad to learn of this recent McAfee death. I know Don will be missed by his large family and I hope they know how proud he was of all of them. We always looked as we passed the house on the corner to see if Don was sitting there- and he often was!
We send our most sincere condolences to ALL of the McAfee family.
