Yazoo City business leader Pat McGraw died Thursday at age 77.
Over the course of five decades in the insurance business in Yazoo, McGraw built a reputation for developing personal relationships with his customers.
It wasn’t uncommon for customers to stop by his office just to visit.
In 2009 when McGraw marked his 50th year of service in Yazoo City, his son and business partner Bill McGraw told The Herald that his father’s love of people was the secret to such a long and successful career.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
