A word of thanks from his son, Dwight McCall, who carries on the bluegrass tradition with J.D. Crowe & The New South:
I just wanted to say a special Thank You to each and every one of you that have sent a message or an email or have given me a call regarding the passing of my Dad. It has been unreal all of the thoughts and prayers that have been sent to me and my family over the last week and I can’t relate to you how much it has meant to me and my family. It’s funny how close the Bluegrass community really is and in times of sorrow they just amaze me with their outpouring of love. I never had a whole lot of family growing up and it was people in the Bluegrass community that ended up being my family and watching out for me. My Dad is in a better place and that’s where he wanted to be even though I wasn’t ready for him to go there just yet. His music will live on, and that, I am thankful for. All of you have helped me and my family through this and I can never thank you enough. Thanks for having so much respect for my Dad that you would take time to pay your respects and tell me you were thinking of me and my family. Thanks for everything and I love being a part of our Bluegrass family.
