MCCAIN’S 46 YEARS WITH THE DISTRICT
2 December 2024
The Cedar Key Water and Sewer District board commissioners and the public celebrated James McCain’s nearly half century of service to the district’s customers Monday evening, December 2, 2024.
Though technically retired some months ago, McCain has worked continuously since then as a district consultant and always there when needed. …which means most of the time. Through Hurricanes Debby, Milton, and Helene, James McCain was on board with all his professional expertise, connections, and energy.
The CKWSD commissioners used this evening’s meeting to present a plaque of appreciation for Mr. McCain’s service. Modest to the extreme, McCain declined any other formal celebration of his 46 years.
When prompted, several times, to speak, McCain said he came to Cedar Key as a young man and knew then that here is where he wanted to stay. He did precisely that, much to Cedar Key’s good fortune.
Audience members could not say enough about McCain. Comments included:
“If you want something done right, ask a McCain.”
“He was always there for me, any time I needed help, he was there.”
“This man embodies Cedar Key at its best: constant, expert, kind.”
“He means the world to this community: Volunteer Fire Rescue…Water Board…he could not be more valuable.”
