Born in Jasper, FL to the late James Horace & Lena Storey McCall, he has lived in Valdosta since the early 1940’s. He moved to Valdosta in his mid-teens to live with family.

He soon grew weary of retirement and started working for Lowndes County Courts as a Bailiff, where he worked for nearly 20 years. Mr. McCall was a devoted member of Central Avenue Church of Christ.
