MACKAY, Dave:
It is one year since Dad died on 31 May 2025 aged 91 years.
He was born and raised in the rolling green hills and bush of Glencoe, which will always be in my heart too. He was in his happy place as a problem- solving inventor and I admired his many solutions. Give mum a hug from me Dad. Remembered by Judy x
