He delighted in all of the people that God put around him.McFall relished every second of his life. He found humor in pranks and funny stories and anything else that would lift one''s spirits. If it is possible to hear the glint in a man''s eye, you could do that with McFall as he jokedand teased you on the phone. He enjoyed making you laugh as much as he enjoyed laughing himself. McFall adored Alabama football, rooting on his Crimson Tide on Saturdays as well as all sporting events with the same ardent devotion he showed his family. And McFall''sfamily was his crowning achievement. He beamed when he spoke of any of them, his pride evident in every word. The good news was, if you were blessed enough to know him, even a little, you became like family to him. Just like his zest for life and laughter, McFall''s love knew no bounds. If you needed him, no matter the time, no matter the circumstance, he would be there -- no questions asked.Sure, he might grumble a little, but you could shrug it off, knowing he only did it to appear just a little bit tough. McFall was a doer, not a delegator. He was a man of steely honor, not broken promises. He was a lifelong friend, not a passing acquaintance. With his love and his spirit, "Bullet" McFall aimed straight for your heart and he never missed. His nickname, it seems, was right on target.
