Memories and Condolences

I had the great pleasure of teaching Charles McKee at Le Rosey in Switzerland back in the 1950s. My late wife and I thought he was one of the best American students we ever taught. He was so thoughtful and considerate and we were so proud of him because he represented our country so well. Luckily, later I was doing graduate work at the Yale School of Drama and Charlie was at Yale, so we had Charlie and other Roseeans over for lunch at our place. We remember very happily all our time with him. He made everyone smile with his good nature. He made teaching worthwhile. I once wrote on his report card, "I wish I had one hundred more students like him in my classes!"

To the entire McKee family, you are in my thoughts and prayers as is Mr. McKee. I was friends with Charlie Jr. in Brunswick along time ago and Mr. McKee was very kind and generous to many people including my family. His laughter and smiles are legendary.
May he rest in peace and his memory live in your hearts forever.

Dear Nina and Family,
We couldn't be more grateful for the life and friendship of Charlie. Nobody we know lived life more fully. He was a one in a million person - enriching the lives of almost everyone he came contact with. He brightened the room when he entered and he left those he came in contact more positive and hopeful. It was like Charlie had a piece of the sun inside him. Our family will be eternally grateful for all he did for us and the huge role he played in our lives.
With sadness and incredible gratitude,
Brian and Carolyn Clement
