Mr. McClain was so good to me when I was young. He was the best!! Watching, encouraging and guiding me through my steps as a baseball player - -he started with me in pee wee league, moved with me to little league, coached me in pony and colt league, watched me play in high school and college....he was ALWAYS there - and I'm so glad he was. He was my "ALL STAR" coach - indeed!! He also treated me as part of his family.....almost like another son - many days he corrected me appropriately, shared his views and at times was very blunt with all I needed to do - he did this with a gentleness that only strengthened our trust and our friendship. Trust me, this meant the world to me......just didn't know the power he had when I was a little boy in his front yard and his home learning about LIFE. Now, I do - and I have for many, many years.... Lastly, Mr. McClain was a true example of integrity and character -- mixed with his vision of hard work and dedication, he led many of my close friends (including Mark)to become solid leaders and great community members - people who have gone on to help others.......so,his legacy will live on and on and on because he was a man of God and he had a caring nature. He's now helping people he'll NEVER, EVER meet - My thoughts and prayers will continue to go out to this wonderful family- Mr. Mac will be missed greatly!!! Crockett DuBose
