Brenda, I'm so sorry to hear about Mack. I know you will miss him, and so will many others, including me. I will miss his gift of walnuts he was so generous to share with me. I thought so much of him and his mother, Miss Elva. I loved her so much and enjoyed being her friend at the Village. Mack was a good son and took good care of his mother. I know they are rejoicing together in Heaven today. I will keep you in my prayers. I'm sorry I was out of town and just heard of Mack's passing today. Gwen

what he could to help people.
My thoughts and prayers are with Mack's family &

was a GREAT guy. For the last few years we enjoyed
eating lunch together about every month along with
some of our high school friends.

I worked with Mack for many years at Home Depot. We used
to go to breaks and lunch together all of the time. When it was
lunch Mack would always come and find me and say that it
was time to go to Amigos. He was a great man and friend.
Mack helped me through a lot through the years. He will be
never forgotten. I love you my Home Depot brother

the years at Fingerhut we worked hard but

prayers are with you during this sad and
difficult time. So glad to call him my
friend. Love Jane
