I'm so happy I got to see Uncle Mac last month. He was the nicest guy and always interested in your conversation. Even though he was a White Sox fan, I loved him very much ;-) Uncle Mac and Aunt Jeanne always opened up their home and invited us to swim in their pool. What a great picture of a loving couple. I miss them both xxx ooo
My deepest sympathies to all of the Macs.

You forget how precious life is till you lose someone you love. You think they'll always be there. I grew up with Uncle Mac and Aunt Jean as if they were my second parents and Gale, Jim, and Pam like my own siblings. I Love you guys and feel your loss. He was a special person, one I will never forget!

Since returning from living on the West Coast, I got to re-learn what a great guy
my Uncle Mac was. He was very helpful in my struggles coming home and through my hospital stays. Hopefully, I thanked him enough for his help. Just in case, Thanks, Unc! I will miss you. So will everyone that knew you.
