Worked with Jim at two waterfront jobs and it was a pleasure always. Never a cross word was uttered between us and many a laugh we had. It was his misfortune to know me when he lived in Brookline, Pittsfield Corner and later Pembroke. I am happy to say I never danced Scottish with him or any other dance but I will miss his presence for as long as I live. Richard
It was always a good time with our friends Jim and Judy. I enjoyed Jim's clever wit and charm. I remember his delicious vodka barbecue glaze. We miss him in many ways. Lisa

I write on behalf of the Bermuda Ex-Police Officers Association to express our sadness on hearing of the passing of our friend and former colleague James "Jim" Mackay who served in the Bermuda Police from 1957 - 1969.

Those of us us who knew Jim remember him as a popular and efficient member of the Police with a great sense of humor.

We offer our sincere condolences to Judy, Suzanne and Andrew, and all of their family.
