My sincere condolences to the McGaughey family on loss of Bill. I’ve worked with Tom for many years and although I did not know Bill, I admired him nonetheless as I had opportunities over the years to hear Tom express his utmost respect , praise and admiration for his farther. To have gained that place in a son’s heart is a wonderful thing.
No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the arms of our Lord. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
