Mr. McKie and my dad were close friends from their high school days. Maybe before. As such, I have fond memories of our families connecting on multiple occasions. Mr. McKie was a true renaissance man. There wasn’t too much he couldn’t do. I was truly blessed to see him last year on a trip home. Still sounding every bit like he did 40+ years earlier. Just so youthful and spry. My condolences to Mrs. Violet, Darryl, Tamiko, Stacy, and the entire family. I miss him already.
Violet – I am just leaving of McKie’s home-going and will lift you and your family in prayer! May God’s mercy surround you each day as you continue to heal in thanksgiving and renderin praises to our Father in heaven for your wonderful longevity in marriage!

Violet,
I was sorry to hear about the passing of Albert my prayers are with you and the family.
Sorry for your loss he will be missed. God blessed you and the family.
Dearest Violet & family, both near & far, needless to say, Albert’s transition caught many who knew and admired such a debonair, and pleasant gentleman off guard and unexpected .
I would always expect to see you see you and Albert at least once during our BTW
annual Heritage Weekend Celebration in June.
So ,it goes without saying that he will be sorely missed as the days move forward.
But he will be remembered by many who knew & respected him as a servant of his Lord and Savior and as a dear friend & neighbor, I’m certain.
May the memories of your life with this “Mckie’ man” as your longtime spouse & all that he was to the lineage that remains, help to sustain all of you at a time such as this and beyond the bereavement period .
Know that he now abides lovingly with “his Savior ” until you meet him again!
Thinking of each of you with the assurance that your loved one, Albert, is alright now!
Sincerely yours, MLK, BTW ’68

Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the entire McKie Families. Albert always maintained a very mild demeanor and was a complete gentleman at all times. Two things that we’ll always remember about him was (1) his ushering at Greenview Baptist Church and (2) his supplying his ladies (wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter) gifts on Valentine’s Day. He truly loved his family and people in general! May GOD provide you with the needed strength to guide you through this tedious period of grievance. GOD bless you all.

Please except my heartfelt condolences. I met Mr. Mckie and his wife when they had the restaurant on North Main St. I was a regular customer. While waiting on my order, I would always hold conversations with him and his wife. After awhile, I realized that he was the uncle of my daughter’s best friend, Aspen. I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep all family and friends in prayer 🙏🏽. He’s moved over there, where I’ve heard the gates are pearly and the streets are paved with gold .
I thank God for allowing me to share so many years of love with Albert. I pray God continue to strengthen and keep you Violet, love you much! To my cousins, continue to let your daddy’s love shine through your lives.
