He was born February 22, 1908 in Upton, PA, the son of Harry Vincent Angle and Stella Boyd Angle. After graduating from the Mercersburg Academy, Mercersburg, PA, he attended the University of Cincinnati before leaving to work in a variety of marketing positions there in Cincinnati. In the summer of 1934, he spent five weeks with a companion navigating an eighteen-foot sea sled with a six-horsepower motor down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers from Cincinnati to New Orleans, towing a small boat carrying the companion's journalist aunt. At the conclusion of the 1,563-mile trip, The Times-Picayune ran a story about that adventure and later offered him a position in New Orleans. For two years, he worked in its marketing research department. In the fall of 1936, he became responsible for The Times-Picayune's circulation in 55 Mississippi counties. Except for the time he spent in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he oversaw the newspaper's dealers in those counties until his retirement in 1979. In 1939, he married Frances Lee of Laurel and moved with her to live in Jackson, where their daughter was born as World War II was escalating. He enlisted voluntarily in the war effort, serving as a Seabee in Hawaii while assisting with the reconstruction of Pearl Harbor. After the war, he and his family moved to Laurel permanently. His wife Frances died in May, 1999. Bob - 'Mr. Bob' or to some, just 'Mr.' - never failed to delight collectors and children. His uncanny gift for finding both the unexpected and the sought-after amazed all who knew him. Who else could discover a Hester Bateman teapot at a Laurel, MS, flea market? Who else could make raking leaves a delight for children? One of his archives from the 1950s locates all early Colt pistols he had found in his travels through Mississippi. Discovery was his great gift and interest. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Mary Frances Angle Vogler and Frederick W. Vogler of Chapel Hill, NC; a grandson, Robert F. Vogler, and his wife Ann Linnehan Vogler; a great-granddaughter, Katherine Maeve Vogler of Arlington, VA; two nephews, Thomas Shook and Robert H.

Member of Advanced Committee Planned Parenthood, NYC. (17-20 years later, statistics showed less juvenile violence.) Professor ObGyn Tulane University School of Medicine from 1981. Wrote a three-volumn work on vitamin C citing old and new research, including his own. In retirement, continued to contribute many articles to medical journals around the world. Devoted his last years to educating the legal and medical community about shaken-baby syndrome. (SBS). He was instrumental in a new test for blood histamine and ascorbic acid levels. All the symptoms associated with SBS are present with high blood histamine and low ascorbic acid levels. Thus, categorically ruling out SBS. Around the world, recent colleagues highlight statistical evidence linking inoculations to 'SBS' events occuring 10 to 12 days later (there is only one vaccine - vacca means cow in Latin - cow pox is the vaccine for small pox, all others are inoculations) These 'SBS' events are now being diagnosed as the Clemetson/ Kalokarinos Syndrome.

He had suffered a broken hip last January 19 at his home in Cincinnati, OH and following surgery went to live near his loving daughter Bridget and her husband, Jeff Rogler. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bridget and William McCafferty of Ireland; brother, Daniel; and sisters: Geraldine, Mary, and Margaret.In addition to his daughter and son-in- law, he is survived by his sister, Elizabeth Gaberino of Holdenville, OK; and a host of nieces and nephews. Often called ::Big Jim' from his multitude of friends due to his 6'8',, 280 pound frame, he was born on March 14, 1916 in Scammon, KS. His family moved shortly thereafter to Henryetta, OK where Jim became a stellar athlete in at St. Michael's and won a football scholarship to St. Benedicts College in Wichita, KS. But the school dropped football, Jim went to work in the oil fields of Oklahoma. When his former coach was named coach at Loyola of the South, (New Orleans) Jim returned to school playing both football and basketball for the Wolfpack. In each of his three athletic seasons, was named the University's Athlete of the Year. In 1942 Jim was named the assistant basketball coach at Loyola, launching a highly successful 20-year career. He became the head coach of his alma mater, following World War II, coaching them to their first-ever NCAA tournament berth. He also instituted the track and field program at Loyola, a program that became highly renowned throughout the collegiate track world. In 1946, Jim married Della Josephine Fowler of Oak Grove, Louisiana and they became the proud parents of Bridget, in 1954. In 1948, he coached a collegiate all-star team to the championship of the Central American Olympic games in Panama, and the U.S. State Department then sent him on a tour of Cuba to conduct basketball and track clinics. In 1957, he was named head coach at Xavier University and the following spring his team won the National Invitational Championship and in 1961 Xavier earned its first-ever NCAA berth. In 1963 Xavier won the National Catholic Championship and Jim retired from coaching to devote full-time to his duties as Director of Athletics, a post he had held simultaneously with his coaching duties. McCafferty served as the school's athletic director until 1979 when he was named Assistant Vice President of Student Development at Xavier. A year later he was named Commissioner of the Mid-Western City Conference, a conference that he had tirelessly worked to establish for a number of years. As a coach, Jim was an innovative strategist, and became most known for his 'single guard' offense, and his 'zone offense.' He took great pride in two personal coaching achievements, never having lost to any opponent who played a zone defense against his teams, and never having lost a game in Madison Square Garden. But, he always stressed that it was the players that played who win games, often saying, 'they're the car's engine, I just get to drive it.' And they cared for their coach and he got phone calls, notes, holiday cards, and personal visits from them throughout the rest of his life. As Director of Athletics, he was proud of convincing the University to give athletic-grants to the sports of baseball, golf, and tennis; and to students who worked in the athletic department as managers and interns; as well as establishing a grant program for graduate coaches. For his approach and ethical standards, he was singled out by the NCAA who selected him as a representative to appear before a United States Congressional Committee that was studying inter-collegiate athleticsHe is a member of both Loyola of the South and Xavier Hall's of Fame, as well as the Cincinnati Basketball Hall of Fame, and twice was designated to receive Loyola's Distinguished Alumnus Award. He was selected in 1958 as Catholic College Coach of the Year, and Ohio College Coach of the Year.A devout Catholic, Big Jim was as Irish as they come. He loved St. Patrick's Day, good food, a house full of laughter, a 'toddy' with his legion of friends in and out of athletics; the City of Cincinnati, especially Opening Day; his alma mater, and the City of New Orleans, especially Mardi Gras. And, of course, his Henryetta roots. He will be remembered as a Gentleman ... and a gentle man. A Mass of the Resurrection will be said Monday, September 25, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. at St Michael's Catholic Church in Henryetta, OK, with burial to follow in Westlawn Cemetery alongside his wife Jo who passed away in 1972.

He attended Antioch College, the University of Mexico, and graduated from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service shortly before the outbreak of World War II. After a brief stint in New York City he joined the U.S. Naval Reserve and was commissioned an Ensign in 1942. He was assigned to a new sub-chaser, the USS PC 1241 which was commissioned in New Orleans where he met and married Eleanor Hewitt Garner, his beloved wife of 62 years. With a green crew and only textbook navigation he and three fellow officers, sailed their ship singly from New Orleans through the Panama Canal to the South Pacific, a voyage which he always considered one of the greatest accomplishments of his lifetime. He participated in the Philippine landings at Leyte and Lingayen Gulf and served more than 22 months at sea. While stationed at the Algiers, La. Naval Station he foresaw the possibilities of New Orleans as a great commercial port. After discharge from the Navy he returned to New Orleans and established McCandless, Inc. an international forwarding firm. He built the business upon the idea of selling the port of New Orleans to mid-west industrial leaders who had been routing their European shipments through the East Coast. This idea brought many new shippers to the Port of New Orleans. His business grew along with the port and it became a leader in the field of international transportation handling large shipments of grain as well as components for industrial complexes throughout the world. His shipments of industrial machinery to China were among the first, after the door was opened to foreign trade; and his irrigation equipment became a foundation of irrigation in the Sahara Desert. In 1968 he retired and moved to Bay St. Louis, Ms. During retirement he and his wife traveled extensively throughout the world. While living in New Orleans he was a shelter director for the American Red Cross, a vice-president of the La. Assn. For Mental Health, president of the Rotary Club of New Orleans and president of the La. Society of the Sons of the Revolution. His interest in preservation led to the restoration of a Lower Garden District home which received the Historic Landmarks award for 1973. He was a Paul Harris Fellow, a member of the Pickwick Club, the Boston Club, the World Trade Club, the Plimsoll Club, the La. Society of Colonial Wars, the Mayflower Descendants, the Audubon Golf Club, the Pass Christian Isles Golf Club, and Pass Christian Yacht Club. He was an avid golfer and a popular jazz pianist. In Mississippi he and Eleanor were instrumental in the establishment of the Hancock County Food Pantry. He was a 'Grandpa' in the Bay-Waveland Head Start Program and known to dozens of children as 'Grandpa Bill'. He was a vestryman and Senior Warden of Christ Church in Bay St. Louis and later a parishioner of Trinity Church of Pass Christian. He is survived by his wife; a son, Wm. H.
