My thoughts and prayers are with the McKay family. George was always so much fun and upbeat whenever I saw him at the putt putt meets. Even after he stopped participating in the events for health reasons with his railcar named "Crank-It", George would still come to visit, catch up and see us off. His energy and zest for life will be missed. God Bless.
