"Jerry" was born November 1, 1926 in La Mesa to Rene and Josephine McClain Fair.  They moved to Lakeside in 1933. Jo's family, William and Winifred McClain, bought 40 acres in Lakeside in 1904 and built a house. The McClain children now included Bill Jr., Elizabeth, Douglas and Josephine. The youngest son, George, was born three years later.
  The McClain family was an important part of Lakeside history. Part of the original property was donated to the Presbyterian Church for the new church on Channel Road.  After Rene's death, Jo married Ed Dupis, and they built a home on Topa Hill Circle in Lakeside. Jerry lived in Oregon for 35 years and retired as a millwright. He was a member of the Lakeside Historical Society
   Jerry is survived by his second wife, Lucille Vance Fair. He leaves 4 children, 16 grandchildren, a step-daughter, Marilyn Lucille Owens, and a step-son Robert Miles Owens. 
   He died at his home September 2, 2005. Memorial Services were held at the Bible Missionary Fellowship in Santee.

  C.W. "Bill" McGrath, one of the pioneers in the San Diego construction and real estate industry over the last 60 years, passed away peacefully in his home on September 1, 2005. Bill was born in Oakland California to Dora and Tom McGrath, and was one of eight children.
  He joined the Navy in 1941 and was stationed in San Diego, serving for 4 years. Bill started his Lakeside/El Cajon based business at the age of 14, purchasing his first truck for topsoil deliveries. Among his most notable achievements was construction of a section of Highway 120 known as Tioga Pass that begins at Lee Vining and continues to the entrance of Yosemite National Park. One of Bill's passions was acquiring heavy earthmoving equipment much like someone might collect antique cars. He was always reluctant to sell anything regardless of age or obsolescence and took pride in his "spread" which numbered over 700 pieces at one time. His inventory of equipment and trucks were well known throughout San Diego with the familiar Shamrock logo stenciled on the cab. C.W. McGrath, Inc. is a Business Member of the Lakeside Historical Society.
  Bill was known throughout the community for his sometimes feisty nature and shrewd negotiating skills. As a former prize fighter during his Navy years and beyond, he was known as a tough competitor who didn't back down and would never quit, and those skills served him well in his career. But those who knew him well understood that beneath that tough exterior was a warm and caring man who was always there for his friends and family.
  His substantial contributions through the McGrath Foundation including the recently opened Toby Wells YMCA and the soon-to-

be constructed McGrath Family YMCA in Rancho San Diego will provide a legacy of the McGrath family's generosity for generations to come.
  Bill is survived by his wife of 59 years, Carlee, and their children, Michael McGrath, Billy (Gigette) McGrath Jr., Laurie McGrath, and Kelly Anne (Larry) Hearn. Bill is also survived by 7 grandchildren; Shannon, Tommy, Shelbi, Michael William, Shawna, Kimberly, Kara, and 5 great grandchildren Johnny, Kayla, Haley, Jacob, Jaxson, and a new baby girl due in December named Hannah.
  A memorial service was held on Wednesday, September 7th with interment following at Singing Hills Memorial Park. Please sign the guest book at obituaries.uniontrib.com
