McCaffrey & McCall Founder and His Wife Killed in Albania
NEW YORK-David McCall was remembered last week as much for his contributions outside of Madison Avenue as he was for the creative legacy he carved there.
The 71-year-old McCaffrey & McCall co-founder and his wife, Penny, 57, died in a car accident April 18 in Albania on a mission to aid Kosovar refugees.
“After his agency sale to Saatchi, David wanted to do something aside from philanthropy. He wanted to take the skills and creativity he developed in advertising and bring them into the larger world,” said Lenny Stern, one of McCall’s partners at Shepardson Stern + Kaminsky in New York.
