Alden McElrath's Obituary
Alden “Mac” McElrath, Jr. Feb 14, 1921 – Dec. 22, 2011 “Those who knew him need not be reminded of his character and love of family and friends. Those who did not know him will not be interested – so be it. What I leave behind is not engraved in words, but what is woven into the lives of others.” This favorite epitaph was found on a marker in an old family cemetery, while Mac and his wife Barbara were hiking in New Hampshire. A celebration of Mac ‘s life will take place in the new year.
