Prayers for the family of Paul McKay - SM

[LauraT7]

On Friday, July 28, 2006 Wm. Paul McKay was killed in a one-car auto accident.

 

Paul was the SM of Troop 159, Woodstock IL for the past 5 yrs, a wonderful father to Will & Kori, loving husband to Diane and good friend to many.

 

Paul was not a man of many words - instead, he lead the boys by his actions and his quiet presence. He guided them with love, humor and LOTS of patience. He was the kind of Scoutmaster that made the job 'look' easy - the adults supported him wholeheartedly, and all the kids adored him.

 

Paul was extremely proud of his children - Will and Kori - with good reason. Both great kids. Kori will be a Sr in High School this year, has earned her GS Silver award and is active in school activities. She was the 'apple' of her dad's eye, and he loved taking her shopping. Will graduated HS last spring, and recieved his Eagle in May. Will is thinking of a career with kids - teaching or professional Scouting, perhaps. Paul and Diane were so very proud of Will that day!

 

Paul will be sorely missed by all who were lucky enough to know him -

 

It's hard enough to lose your father at any age - but especially when you are only 16 and 18 yrs old....

 

Please keep this family in your hearts and prayers.

 

Thank you

I did not know him but from a great distance he made himself known.
