Beaver Island Forum, "Bob McGlocklin RIP," April 26–30, 2008.
The community thread reported McGlocklin's death, identified him as a former Circle M owner, and preserved the family's request for Beaver Island Fire Department memorial donations. It does not supply a full obituary or independently verify the Florida death date; the Beaver Beacon remains the primary concise source.
