A gesture of gratitude in memory of Mr. Mac

Dear Editor:

We were so saddened to read about the untimely death of Mr. Gary McNamara recently. Our three children, Karen, Laura and Eric, were all privileged to be taught and inspired by “Mr. Mac” and so many other wonderful Canton teachers when they were young. They are all thriving today in no small measure due to the passion and dedication of the special Canton teachers like Mr. McNamara, who gave so much to our family.

In Gary’s memory, we are making a contribution to the GoFundMe page that was set up for Canton High School student Alaina Goodwin. We also had the experience of having a child be hit with a sudden unexpected medical trauma in high school. It turned out well for us in the long run, and we hope and pray that Alaina can make a complete recovery in the near future.

Sincerely,

Richard Woods and Linda Coffey, OFC (Originally from Canton)

Yarmouthport, MA
