McPherson, William also known as Mick and Mac, of Otsego, formerly of Coon Rapids, born in 1937 and died on December 1, 2020. Preceded in death by his parents, William and Florence McPherson, and by the love of his life, Patricia (Patty) McPherson. Survived by his children, Matt, Andy (Charisse), Katie (Doug), Molly Vogt (Tim), and grandchildren that he loved dearly, Jake (Allison), Nick, Zack, Josh (Shelby), Mikaela, Sam, Grace, and Bill. Also survived by his brothers and sisters, Jean Stegall, Nancy Carpenter, Jack (Janis) and Bob (Sharon); along with many other McPherson and O'Connor relatives. Mac served the city of Coon Rapids and its citizens for 30 years as a police officer. With his family, he was always known for his puns, jokes, and quips. Even in the last week of his life, he made us laugh. We are grateful to the staff at Riverview Landing who cared for him. A celebration of his life will be held when we can safely be together.
