Sadly, I never met David except through his blatantly honest memoir - Spellbound.   Strange that I should find a copy in Cumming, Ga library bookstore about the time of his death for 50 cents.  Born in western Pa around the same time as David, I became spellbound reading about his feelings as a kid growing up in 40s and 50s. I was looking forward to requesting a meeting with him when we travel to Ct later this month.  Sadly I must keep getting to know him better through his book and seek to locate some of his poetry.  I wonder if his teen gal Linda remembers him?  God’s Peace and comfort to his family and friends. 

We were very fortunate to count you as our friend, David.  Best to Margaret, Josh & Megan.

One of my favorite professors of all time. He will be missed. My condolences on your loss.

David was a good man and will be missed. Rest in Peace.

To the family of David McKain, please accept my heartfelt condolences. Sincerely, Lois Mathieu

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of David,it's so difficult to lose a loved one in death. However, you can find comfort in God's word, knowing the promise found at Hosea 13:14.My prayers and thoughts are with you during your hours of grief.

Margaret, Josh, and Megan, 

     My deepest condolences on David's passing.  I will always cherish the memories I have of spending time with your family in Andover and CT.  David was very kind, thoughtful, well reasoned.  I hope your many amazing memories of him will help sustain you in your grief.  His spirit lives on in the many lives he touched.

     You and your families are in my thoughts.

I am so sorry to hear of David's passing.. it has been a privilege to sing to you over the last few years and to get to know you and Margaret just a bit.. May God grant you His peace

The world has lost a great peace activist and a man with an outstanding social conscience. His friends have lost a caring and loving soul whose deliberate life enriched their own in so many ways. David will long be remembered, and his life will continue to inspire and inform those who knew and loved him. For this we are so grateful.

Oh Margaret. Lighting a candle that will burn long and ringing a bell that will echo, for David but also for you and your family, my good dear friend.

Dave was an alumnus of Bradford High School Class of 1955.  As a classmate I remember him as being extremely well liked and very well read even then.  My sincere sympathy to his wife, Margaret, his children and grandchildren.

We are so sorry about David. He was a great classmate and friend. Jay remembers trip dave,jay,jack higey,Jim colosimo went on trip to see jack kleiderline. Dave was left off to see stores, hi first trip.about 1952.sad enough jay is the last one with the memories, he is the keeper. Jay has many good memories and will share. Again he will be missed by many

David was a remarkable teacher and extraordinary soul.  Sincerest sympathies to Margaret and the family.

So sorry to hear of David's death.  We were just talking about him the other day, at the Bradford Landmark Society and wondered how he was doing. Such a nice man!    He often stopped by our historical society, when he visited in town, and we enjoyed his conversations.  He was generous, too. When a local man, a collector of historical  Bradford photos and books passed away, David bought the collection and donated it all to us.  We still remember him with such fondness and am so sorry to hear of his death.  Accept the  condolences of the Bradford Landmark Society.
