Bill McKay used to joke that the Army
Air Forces had made him a tail gunner on
a 817 bomber during World War II
became-
pilot's
ecae a pilot's training.
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.
