"Charley" McNabb, as he was intimately known to his friends, was a man of sterling integrity, upright in character and loyal in his friendship, a leader in all civic affairs.
He was first at the bedside of the sick and unfortunate, openhanded for charity and never too busy to go, a day or night, where needed. Our brother's work is done: we will miss his jovial greeting, but his spirit lives on with us to the end.
