McKay, David Lee "Punky", aged 73, of Springhill, NS, passed away on Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at the All Saints Hospital, Springhill.  

Born in Springhill, he was a son of the late Joseph and Lillian (Wark) McKay.

Punky grew up in Springhill, and attended the Teachers College in Truro.  He began his teaching career in Ontario, and later in the Springhill Schools.  He then continued teaching at Dorchester and Springhill Penitentiaries  from 1964 until his retirement in 1995.

He was active in many sports, including softball, golf and darts.  He was also fond of Bridge.  Punky made many close friends while he was a member of the North Nova Scotia Regiment.  He joined the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #17 and later served as President.  Dave spent many happy summers with his wife and children at their Heather's Beach cottage.  Hunting seasons were enjoyed with friends  at the camp.  In his later years, he enjoyed daily car rides with friends and family.  He truly "lived life to the fullest".

Punky married his loving wife Roberta "Bobbie" of Springhill in 1961 and raised their two children; son Stephen (Linda), Springhill and daughter Tammy (Mike) Witroway, Brampton, ON; grandchildren Matthew and Luke.

Arrangements have been entrusted to A H Brown Funeral Home, 5 McFarlane St., Springhill, NS (902-597-2361) where visiting hours will take place on Sunday from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.  Funeral service will take place on Monday, August 25, 2014 at 2:00 pm from A H Brown Funeral Home, Springhill, with The Reverend Marion Lloy officiating.
