In Memoriam
Mike McKenna, Scouts supporter
November 28, 2001 . . . Mike McKenna, a Madison Scouts alumnus and long-time supporter of the corps and the activity, died yesterday after a long battle with Lou Gehrig's Disease.
"He was a one-man salesman, a driver and a board member," said Scott Stewart, Scouts Executive Director. "Mike was a lovable guy, he enjoyed working with the corps and was a strong supporter."
McKenna marched in the Scouts in the mid-sixties, then became a Scouts board member in October of 1991, Stewart said. McKenna was voted to another three-year term at the corps' October 30 organization meeting. He also drove a bus for the corps, and loved to go on tour and get to know the members.
"We're going to miss Mike," Stewart said. "He was a special part of the family and he could always stir up a conversation."
The wake will be at Joyce Funeral Home on Odana Rd (west side of Madison) from 4-8 PM on Friday. The funeral will be held at St. Dennis Catholic Church on Dempsey Rd (east side of Madison) with a visitation at 10:00 AM and mass at 11:00. Burial will be at Resurrection Cemetery on the west side of town near West High School. Members and alumni of the Scouts who wish to perform You'll Never Walk Alone at the funeral should contact the corps office at (608) 241-3171 for information.
