Rev. Thomas "Randy" MacKay died August 25 after many years of suffering with MS. He was an ordained New Age minister who served for years on the Board of Directors of the New Age Community Church, and worked at the Alpha Book Center. MacKay was born April 4, 1947, in New Glascow, Nova Scotia, Canada. He came to this country when he was five but remained a Canadian citizen all his life.

He worked primarily as an auto mechanic, but also dabbled in electronic repairs. He joined the New Age Community Church, studied in the seminary program and became a minister. He functioned on the NACC Board of Director for many years.

He is survived by his wife Susan MacKay, three sons— Thomas jr, Craig and Troy— and five grandchildren.

Always ready to volunteer his services, “he was a wild and crazy guy,” said his widow
