Mr. McBride was born January 31, 1938 in Logansport, Louisiana to W.R. McBride and Doris Bell McBride. He was a charter member of the Lions Club in Logansport, Louisiana, a member of Kiwanis Club, the Town Council, Band Boosters, Athletic Boosters, McRamblers and First United Methodist Church in Logansport, Louisiana, where he served for twenty-five years as Sunday School Superintendent for twenty-five years. Mc loved the outdoors. He was passionate about his farm, known as 6-Mc Farm, where he raised chickens, cows and horses. He had cats and dogs and was always ready for company to come “sit a spell” on his front porch with a cup of coffee. He had a love for his family and was always willing to lend a helping hand to his neighbors in need. Christmas and Easter family traditions were very important to him and the entire McBride family has kept those tradition alive for seventy-six years.
