November 16, 1928 - December 17, 2019

Wendell J. (Mac) McCosh age 91 passed away Tuesday, December 17, 2019 in Richmond, VA.

Wendell was a veteran of the U. S. Navy serving in the Korean War. He worked for many years at Southwire Company.

Wendell was a family man who truly loved his yearly get together’s with his siblings and their families. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, gardening and was especially proud of his tomatoes. Wendell loved to travel and being out on the water teaching his children to swim. He had a great sense of humor and taught all his children about how to show kindness and love.
