My Sincere condolences to the MacKay family, along with Lee and Lorna.  I worked with Brian, Lee & Lorna for many years. Brian was always a great guy, and helpful whenever I needed help.  Which happened many times!!!  Always had a great smile, and enjoyed life.  Enjoyed seeing he and Larry Irwin at the last play in Lucknow.  Hugs to all.  Sorry couldn't come today, having back issues.
