Not sure what to say?

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. Dr. McKee was my reluctant mentor my freshman year ('76). I always played the devil's advocate and he would just lean back, give me a his little half smile and let me run with it. It was only years later as a faculty wife that I got to interact with him again. Then as two people, not teacher/student, did i truly realize his great gift of teaching and how he had "let" me play my part way back then....

My deepest condolences to Dr. McKee's family. He was not only my professor, he was my assigned mentor and what he gave his students can never be taken away or given my anyone else. My the love of God give you comfort, may the strength of God give you peace.

My sympathies to Dr. McKee's family. He was a favorite professor of mine in the early 1980s. His classes were challenging and fascinating, and he always gave excellent lectures.

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was one of my favorite professors while I attended Eckerd in the early 80s. He was a kind, decent man whose enthusiasm for teaching was an inspiration. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

I am so sorry for your loss. Professor McKee was a valued part of the Eckerd community. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
