I am a long lost nephew of Craig's who hadn't communicated with him in probably forty years but I remember him as a good spirited friendly fellow who always tried to include me in activities even though I was considerably younger than he. My favorite memory is when he (an Air Force officer attending college in Ft. Collins) and the Training Company First Sergeant walked into a trainee barracks on Lowry Air Force Base to find me. I had left New York unannounced to deliver a car to a friend there so my mother went through the McKee family ask Craig to track me, a civilian, down which he graciously did to the great consternation of my friend and his fellow trainees. After a friendly greeting I was politely informed that while I was welcome to visit I really couldn't live in a military barracks. I visited Craig and Toni several times in Ft. Collins but somehow I never got around to going back to New York. My condolences to his family, he lives in my memory.

My family and I just found out today that Mr. McKee passed away when trying to call him for Thanksgiving. My sister and I met him while working at Falcons Landing. Our family spent many Thanksgivings and Christmas' with him. I have fond memories of singing with him at the Falcons Landing shows. He loved performing! He was always a pleasure to have at our home. We will miss him greatly and were so sad to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed!

Our thoughts are with the family of Mr. McKee. Mr. McKee was obviously a great supporter of children and the Loudoun County Public Schools. We appreciated his generosity not only to Hamilton Elementary School but all Loudoun County Elementary Schools.

Hugh McKee was a very important person, behind the scenes. Just two weeks ago, I (along with all of the other elementary school principals in Loudoun County, VA) learned of a particularly generous gesture from Mr. McKee. He established a fund whereby every LCPS elementary school would receive $3,000 to be spent on educating our children.

In times when local school budgets and programs are being slashed, Mr. McKee had the foresight to realize that we simply cannot keep doing more for our children when funding continues to drop. At our particular school, Mill Run Elementary, we have decided to use the $3,000 for ten additional Chromebook laptop computers. They will be in our students' hands very soon.

I only wish that I could have personally expressed my gratitude to Mr. McKee, but his family and loved ones should definitely know that this wonderful man leaves behind an incredible legacy. God bless you, Mr. McKee!

Kindest regards,
Paul L. Vickers, Principal

Dear McKee Family,

I am very, very sorry for your loss. Your father was a very generous, yet humble man. I had the privilege of getting to know your father about 5 years ago. My school was 1 of 17 to which he made a generous donation. I was so struck by his generosity, that I reached out to him. I learned of his service in the military, which I appreciated on a personal level, as my father served as well. From that time on, he became somewhat involved with our school, attending our creative arts shows and volunteering his time to serve as an Odyssey of the Mind judge. We were thankful for his service to our country and our school, and therefore, honored him during one of our Veteran's Day tributes. We had lost touch, unfortunately.

Thoughts and prayers,
Jennifer Rueckert
