Clarence Frederick McKay Sr

To the family of Clarence Frederick McKay Sr., I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure you will miss him dearly. Please find comfort in knowing one day we will see our loved ones again. John 6:40. Matthew 5:5.

So sorry for your loss, I remember Mr. McKay as a kind man who was heavily involved with the community. He raised a wonderful family, you will all be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days.

Clarence..... an unforgettable mentor to all lectors, servers and other volunteers in St Joe's. As a lector, I still follow Clarence's suggestions and methods from years ago. He fostered reverent practices from the past and his legacy will continue through many of our actions for many years.

What a full and meaningful life. More institution than mere mortal. His love was shared by so many....God, his wife, the extensive McKay Clan, his church, and all of us he prayed for. I will never forget when as a nervous alter boy I responded to his question with "yes Father". I stammered an apology and he simply smiled and said "that's OK, I'm a father." Talk about an understatement !

Thoughts and prayers to all.

Dear McKay family, Our families led parallel lives in Gardiner and the St. Joseph's community for two or three generations. Your dad was a kind and pleasant gentleman. He was a "forever friend" to my dad.

Many prayers and much love to the entire McKay family! I was sad to hear of your Dad's passing as he has been such a leader in our community and a kind, caring, and loving man!!!! I remember sharing many good times with your family and your parents were always so wonderful to everyone!! More recently, it was a joy to see your Dad out and he still would smile and chat briefly! What a life your parents shared together and with all of you!!!! Thank you for sharing them with all of us! He will be...

McKay Family
So sorry to hear of your fathers' passing. He was a wonderful man. He will always be remembered in our family from the time he took our parent's wedding pictures, and until the time he visited our father every Sunday at his home during his illness.He always had a sweet smile, kind words, and allot of prayers. For that, he will always have a special place in our hearts. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
