That didn't stop him from claiming to be a fighter pilot when he was later shot down over Germany. "Bill parachuted into a field and saw an angry -looking old German soldier with an ancient rifle coming after him. Bomber crews weren't popular with Germans just then, so he indicated in his rudimentary German that he was a fighter pilot and that got him by," said James Smith, a friend of more than 30 years. William (Bill) Anugs McKay, an ad- ministrative law judge for the state Department of Social Services in Detroit, died of a stroke in his Detroit apartment Friday - (April 21) . He vats 88. "He bad a triiiy delightful sense Of humor and was very kind to people he dealt with. Decency describes him best of all. Decency is the art of being a gentleman, andhe was a:gentleman,' said Smith, who met Mr. McKay when both were students at Wayne State University's law school. Mr. McKay worked his way through law school delivering milk for Twin Pines Farm Dairy. He received his degree in 1956 and went into private practice in Detroit with Smith in 1957. He was Belleville city attorney in the late 1960s and early 1970s before joining the DSS 15 years ago. As an administrative law judge, he conducted hearings on disputes involving claims in DSS pro- grams such as Medicaid. "He enjoyed a good joke, but he was always concerned as well. In his hearings, he took a great deal of pain with people whose circumstances were really very bad. He always looked beyond the mere superficial aspects of a case to see what was really involved," Smith said. OBITUARIES Saturday, April 29. Rev. Harry Vriend officiated.
