Victor Emmanuel McKay Sr., a man of many titles and diverse accomplishments, left an indelible mark on those who knew him.

His multifaceted career spanned various roles including clerk, insurance agent, supermarket owner, driving instructor, newspaper editor, and even senator. Yet, amid all these roles, his greatest pride came from being a devoted father and grandfather.
