Some you likely knew Father Bob McGee while at Wake; he was the Episcopal campus minister. If you didn't know him, if you went to Wake in the last 30 years, you at least likely knew of him- he was the priest who wore a cowboy hat and made balloon animals. Anyway, he died this morning and it is a great loss for those of us who knew him and for the entire Wake family. It all unfolded rather quickly, but he is now at peace. I'll post more information once I have it regarding funeral services.
 
My condolences to all his family and friends. Tis a sad day anytime one of the Wake family passes.
 
Thats too bad, he was my neighbor across the street. I had not seen him walking dogberry in a week or two.
 
FWIW, the email WFU sent out:

We grieve Rev. McGee's death and extend our condolences to his family and friends, as well as those at Wake Forest who had the opportunity to know him.

Bob's funeral will be Saturday at 2pm in Wait Chapel. Should be a wonderful service celebrating a wonderful and God's power of Resurrection.

I'm sitting here, beginning to craft the sermon for that service. And normally, if I were to be preaching at the funeral of a close friend, and wanted advice on how to start, I'd ask Bob where to begin...
