Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My thoughts and prayers are with Cpl. McKay and his friends and family. To my brothers and sisters of the Franconia Police Department, I stand with you in this time of loss. I attended the 109th NH Police Academy with Bruce he was a caring and genuine person. May god bless and keep his soul.

Unbelievable. I just arrived home from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial to find out about this terrible tragedy. To the family, coworkers, and friends of Cpl. McKay, please accept heartfelt condolences from myself and my family. Hold on to each other in the coming days, weeks, and months, as you will all come to realize just how important you really are to each other. Nothing will replace the empty space in your lives this man left, however time eventually makes all things bearable, and provides the strength to go on. Bruce McKay will not ever be forgotten, as he will live forever through your memories. God bless you all...

It tears me apart every time I read one of these reflections, not just the ones that are left for you but also Cpl. Jason Makowski of the dearborn heights Police Department (EOW 5-25-06) and every other law enforcement officer that falls in the line of duty.

I'm SO sorry for what you had to face in your final moments. The guy who did this to you is a coward, no real man acts how he did. Your in a better place now and away from this hell that we call life but here we sit wishing this never happened, wishing you were still here. I know the pain your family, friends and coworkers are dealing with. Last year CPL. Jason Makowski gave his life in the line of duty and we are still feeling the pain - it never gets any easier. But I hope your loved ones and brother officers find comfort in the fact that you are still with them every day and that you are in a better place.

Rest Easy Officer and continue to walk your beat in heaven with the other blue angels. Your a HERO in every sense of the word and your legacy will be honored by your department.

Corporal Bruce McKay may you rest in peace my brother. Thank you for your service my friend you are in a much better place, you will not be forgotten. To your family, friends & co-workers, you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you and give you strength. You always have a family in the NYSP. To the Marine and his son who stopped to help an officer in need, I thank you for your courage and actions, once again you did your country proud. You went well above what most people would do in a situation like that. Once again the US Marines has shown what type of people they produce and who is guarding our country. I would like to commend you on being so brave and helping out the Law enforcement community. If it were not for you that piece of trash would still be walking around today, you did good Marine, real good!! One day you will rewarded for your actions. God Bless you and watch over you forever.
