I will remember McClay forever as one of the best -- and coolest.
Sending my condolences to all his family and friends. The heartache and loss indescribable.
I was immediately taken with McClay's sense of humour and the playful way he would poke fun at me as an annoying young teenager. He had the approval of the McKay sisters, who I idolized and still do, so he instantly had mine. He did earn it all on his own through the sneaky sips of beer he would let me take and the thoughtful way he would engage in conversation.
It is certainly true that you remember the way people make you feel -- and he made me feel like gold.
Mike, rest easy man. May the pow fields be endless, the morning water be glass, and the beer always cold.
Sending love from Whitehorse.
