    Ensign George McKay

    I have just found out that George (Mac) McKay crossed the bar after suffering from cancer recently. Mac served on Lowestoft as an ME from 1969-72 and reached the rank of CPO later on. His funeral is being held at Weston Mill cemetery at 1400 on 6th December. RIP Mac.

    George joined the Lowie Association back in 2015 but has not been an 'active' member.
    RIP George

    I remember Mac from my days on Lowie,brought back a couple of stories,
    We bunked opposite on the lower bunk, on one occasion after a run ashore he'd had a skin full and promptly threw up which reached my side.After which he paid for my bedding to be dhobyed,Not long affter I'd been on a bender and was also feeling ill,but I shouted at him for a bucket which he duly provided and sorted me out.
    I was courting my now wife at the time and she had 3 sisters that used to attend Pembroke naafi club on Thursday evenings,he tried his best to trap one though not for trying after a couple of weeks he gave up.
    Rest in peace Mac.
