Niagara County Legislature Chairwoman Becky Wydysh Releases Statement on Passing of Former Chairman Keith McNall
I am deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of my friend and former colleague Keith McNall. Having served with Keith during his tenure as Chairman of the Legislature, I watched
and learned as Keith presided over the Legislature with integrity, grace, and professionalism. I gained much from him, and am forever grateful for his guidance and leadership. Keith had a quiet demeanor, but he was a fierce advocate for the people of Lockport, as reflected by his decades of public service in both the Legislature and on the Lockport School Board.
