James Melvin McCall was the owner of McCall Electrical Contractors, an Army veteran, a member of the Hejaz Shrine Temple and a member of Clearview Baptist Church. He lost his battle to a Glioblastoma Multiforme IV at the age of 58 and sought treatment at The Brain Tumor Center at Duke.
A huge NASCAR fan, an avid golfer and devoted family man-Melvin lived his life to the fullest. He believed that if his life could contribute to saving five others, it was worth the price.
This tournament was begun by his sons-Shawn and Lee McCall in honor of his life and to support the research for the cure of brain tumors by raising awareness and funds. |
