David Andrew McFall - A Life Well Lived

In an age when notoriety is often confused with celebrity, and those of a character once shunned are now considered role models, a man such as David Andrew McFall is a rarity. On January 27, 2009, Mr. McFall died at the age of 88.

Mr. McFall often commented that he was a graduate of the "University of Waterloo." Born in that small community, he spent his early years in this small eastern Lauderdale community until leaving to serve his country in WWII, and returned home to the United States a highly decorated veteran. Upon his return to Lauderdale County, he wed his sweetheart, Arietta Dewberry, a woman he loved and cherished even after her death.

During his life, Mr. McFall was the manager of the Lauderdale County Teachers' Credit Union and a member of the American Legion. Perhaps he was proudest of serving as a deacon at the Oakland Church of Christ.

To his daughter Joan and a host of other loving relatives, we say, "What have they seen in thine house?" His example will live long after him.

Our sincerest sympathies.
