Dr. Ray Nelson McKinley

Unfortunately for me, I can not be at Ray's funeral, as I have an appointment with the Ann Arbor VA Hospital that I can not break. and I live in Canton.
Being a classmate of Ray's older sister (Gayle), I remember the many tasks each member of the McKinley's children would have to do. My father was a councilman when Dr. McKinley was the mayor, and he had nothing but praise for Doc McKinley!
One year after our class of '64, I went to the Fraser gym to watch the "Rambler's" playing basketball. Gayle happened to be there as well that weekend and she asked me if I'd like to drive with her to pick up Ray in Grosse Pointe after his basketball game. I got to know Ray a lot better. Through the years I noted that he was an awesome man, with so many friends (so typical of the McKinley's!).
God bless Ray's family and siblings. I am so sorry that I can't come to the funeral.
Chaplain Rich Whipple, class of '64!

May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family

Our condolences and sympathy go out to the McKinley Family, especially the wonderful children, Brittany (Chris) and Kyle (Sari) and the beautiful grandchildren, Emerson, Julian and Josie.

So very sad to hear of Ray´s passing. I have fond memories of skiing and playing golf at Otsego with Ray, who always had a smile on his face and something good to say about everyone. May his soul rest in eternal happiness.

My precious Lynn. My heart is breaking to think of the terrible time you are going through right now. Like me with your dad, always remember the happy times you´ve had with Ray and the love you two shared. Wish I could be there to hold and try to comfort you, but you are always in my heart! Mom

We are so saddened at the sudden passing of Dr. McKinley. He was my dentist for many years. Not only a dentist but a cherished friend. He will be missed. Prayers go out to Lynn and the entire McKinley family and staff.
Love Shirley and Ray Jenkins

I will miss seeing You and Otis skiing on Friday afternoons. Such a beautiful skier and person.

Praying for peace and comfort in Jesus.

I went to school with Margo and Gwen and worked for Dr. Otis McKinley Sr. I spent some happy times in their home near the airport. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all

Lynn, please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure your heart is broken at the loss of Ray. I never met him, but Jenny shared the time she met all of you in Colorado. I would so like to be with you during this time, but I am sure you understand the long distance and some health issues. Know you are loved here in Alabama and maybe we can get together sometime.

So sorry to hear of Doctor McKinleys passing He was an inspiration to his patients and the students at the high school

The whole Hartle family is so sad to learn of this news. Mr Otsego was how we will always remember Ray. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his whole family!

May we continue to honor and respect all the lessons we have learned; acting as living symbols of a loving spirit. You are in our prayers.
