Dear brother,
you would be proud that Franconia finally got a decent police and fire station built. It's quite an impressive building with all of the proper setups you would expect. Your photo is framed and hung there and the guys who knew you certainly think of you often! BTW, the new chief looks very much like you. Kind of gives me chills actually... I had to do a double take. Miss you more than I can say in words... thanks for sending all of your signs. I love them - they keep me going!

Eight years have passed and still I weep, not for me alone, Bruce, but for our children. They will be forever burdened by your loss. I think of all the citizens you served and how they'll never understand you were more than an officer behind the badge. I think of your/my family and how gracious they have been in spite of their grief. I've learned to tuck you neatly inside my heart, always safe. Your gift of love has given me the strength to move forward and love again. For your guidance and the little signs just when I need them most, I will always be grateful.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
God Bless

Although the years have passed, your memory never will. Thank you for your service, and thank you to the Marine ( Semper Fi) who came to your aid. May God give you comfort as only He can.

Bruce and Family,

More time has passed and time keeps marching on. I hope everyone is well and life has offered your daughter and family some counterweight of happiness to make up for the loss. I will always remember the sacrifice and appreciate the time I have and try to make the most of it. Thank you.

Hey brother, just thinking about you as your birthday approaches. I wanted to post and let everyone know just how thankful I am for having such a great academy roommate! You truly shaped the early stages of my career, which have carried me through all these years, and words can't express my gratitude! You are truly missed! May God bless all your family and friends who miss you each and every day.

Another year has gone by, it's hard to believe that you would have been fifty-five...you are thought of every day, you are never forgotten.

George, you make an excellent point. If someone ever assaults a police officer or attempts murder of anyone, they should receive a long prison sentence. The first shows a lack of respect for the law, the second contempt for society.

Needless to say, this is a most regrettable happening.

The key sentence is: "The suspect had previously been convicted of assaulting Corporal McKay during a vehicle stop in 2003."

When an individual shows this kind of character, why is he returned to society where he can kill? Where is it written that someone like this gets a second, third, fourth chance? A chance to eventually kill someone, while law-abiding citizens are eventually expected to turn in their weapons in a gradual general confiscation scheme in contravention to the Second Amendment?

Dear Big Brother

We had a lovely memorial dedication for you at your High School on Long Island this past weekend on your 6th EOW anniversary. Your life long friends spoke of the true friend you were to them and how kind and generous you were of your time. You are remembered as a very selfless man with a huge heart. Don't I know!
We miss you as much now as we did on 5/11/07

Love you always and thanks for sending me your regular 44 signs. I see them constantly

Your little sis,
Meggen

The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never;
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.

Always in our hearts!!

Never more will the wind cherish you again, Never more will the rain.
Never more shall we find you bright in the snow and wind.
The snow is melted, the snow is gone, and you have flown:
Like a bird out of our hand, like a light out of our heart, you are gone.

Well said Eric. Those of us in public service often rely on civilians for aid, and we are always grateful even if we don't get to express it in the moment. I have no sympathy for the shooter, and I am very happy that there are people out there with the courage to get involved when something like this happens. I, too, just watched the video and it just proves how quickly things can go badly. Thanks for the service Corporal McKay.

Having just watched the released car video footage I was moved enough to look up what the end result was. I was delighted to hear that not only a Marine tried to help and not only placed his life on the line but also his son's. I also have to say and I know some will disagree with this feeling but it is just my opinion here. I am glad that Corporal Mckay's murderer was shot and killed. I am glad he was put down like the rabid dog he was and harm no one further.

You are always missed, especially today on your birthday.
Thank you for still looking out for us. Not five minutes after you were mentioned last week, in a moment of despair, a total stranger appeared in front of our house, got the generator started and then came back and cut up the tree limb that fell on the garage during this last storm. I can't help but think that in some way, you had sent him.
