Each and every day, thousands of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students, unbeknownst to them, benefit from the vision and generosity of alumnus Pat McNally, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션39. In honour of Pat, one of the donors to the 카지노게임사이트 Avenue revitalization project, the pathway east of 카지노게임사이트 Avenue between Kingston Hall and Nixon Field is named the Professors' Walk.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Ten years ago, when construction on the project had just started, I visited Pat at his home. I remember he was energetic and astutely aware of the progress on the project. He offered insightful advice, which ultimately helped the project move forward,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Tom Harris, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션75, Vice-Principal (Advancement).
The project, completed in 2008, restored 카지노게임사이트 Avenue as the iconic and ceremonial main street of campus. The restoration widened the sidewalks to create more space for people and greenery, increased bench seating and made the roadway more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists. The project received the City of Kingston카지노 게임 컬렉션s Livable City Design Award of Merit for Context, Accessibility and Community Significance.
At 101 years of age, Pat passed quietly in Waterdown, Ontario on June 3, 2016. Pat lived by the theme that anything is possible if you are lucky enough to have family to support you and education to guide you. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s pride and education runs deep within the McNally family as nine of Pat카지노 게임 컬렉션s descendants have attended and graduated from the university including: Pat카지노 게임 컬렉션s sons Michael McNally, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션68, Chris McNally, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션77 and Dr. Paul McNally, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션75 and Pat카지노 게임 컬렉션s grandchildren Heather McNally, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션01, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션04, Simon McNally, Sc96, Gregory McNally, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션10, Jennifer McNally, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션04, Victoria McNally, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션00 and Beth McNally Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션00. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I remember being struck by Pat카지노 게임 컬렉션s pride for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and love of his family,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Harris.
Drawing on his family's background as homebuilders and his education at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s as a Mining Engineer, Pat had a successful professional life Β카지노 게임 컬렉션 first in the hard rock mines of Northern Quebec, then in general construction in Montreal and the Maritimes, and ultimately as partner and chief engineer of S. McNally & Sons with his brothers. He was a pioneering contractor who helped build the infrastructure of Southern Ontario, especially below ground, where his innovative mining techniques created the region's most prominent tunneling contractor.
Pat retired in 1979 and spent the balance of his life as a successful investor, incessant benefactor to young people and supporter of community needs. He paid tuition for many young people and helped young families afford their first homes. He was in various ways indispensable in the startups of Clappison Veterinary, C&M McNally Engineering, McNally Robinson Booksellers, QNX Software Systems and McNally Jackson Booksellers. He was a longtime benefactor and volunteer with Queen's 카지노게임사이트, as well as, The Royal Botanical Gardens, the Bruce Trail Conservancy, and the Rotary Club. In 2015, he set up a family foundation to provide recreation for families, starting with a new skating oval now nearing completion in Memorial Park in Waterdown.
Pat married Anne Elizabeth (Libby) Powell in Montreal and together they raised four sons and a daughter. He was predeceased by Libby and by his six siblings. He is remembered by sons, John, Michael, Paul, Christopher, daughter, Joyce Police and by 19 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
Pat, Thank you.
