Obituary: Tom McCall

John Wolz

Thomas C. McCall, who founded the fastener recruiting firm of Tom McCall & Associates 53 years ago, died October 17, 2001, at the age of 84.
In a 1997 interview with FIN marking his 50th anniversary in fastener industry recruiting, McCall said he had lost track of the number of people he had placed in the fastener industry, but it was �probably between 3,000 and 4,000, and some of them more than once.� He had placed sons of fathers he had found jobs for decades ago. Sales reps he had placed have become company presidents.\
He is survived by his wife Mary, three children, three grandsons, and four great-grandchildren.
