Dear Precious Family,
My sincere apologies...I just saw this. Your Dad is one special guy. I don't know if I have ever known someone that would light up as much as your Dad when he talked about his children. Loved his enthusiasm, directness and anytime I would have the honor of visiting with your Dad. All of you are amazing and we know he is at rest with the Lord. Well Done Mr. McFadden----Good and Faithful Servant....LYALL

Ron & Rod and family,
So, sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. You and your family are in my prayers. 🙏
"Mac" was my husband's (Martin Shelangoski) good friend for many years. They went on fishing trips together, rented apartments together, played and worked together. Mac was a great family man and will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss! Thinking of your family during this time!
