Eileen,
" I'm so sorry to hear about Mack. I'll always remember how he encouraged me to sing with the various bands at Hardee's. Now I'm singing with a band. I will miss his wonderful smile that lite up the room and his signature "Red" sweater. I loved watching the both of you dancing together when I sang one of those old country songs. You can feel and see the love you both had. He will be missed at the Farmer's Market and Hardee's. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers."

Eileen and Family,  So sorry to hear about Mack. God blessed you both when he brought you together.  Keep in touch,- we've been friends for 55 years (near and far).  Phyllis Oblander, Santa Clarita, CA

Our hearts are full of wonderful memories of a sweet man that loved his wife Eilene and family, enjoyed having parties, and made everyone feel special. We will miss his amazing smile and red sweater. Dear family, we pray that your hearts are comforted.

When I moved back home to Va. from Ca. Mr. Mack knew I needed somethings to set up house.  He gave me a couch, a few pots and dishes. Later we were in need of a car and he let me make payments on one of his old cars.  I will miss his kindness there not many people as good as he has been to my family.  I lived across the street from him for a time.  I will remember his laughter and love of good food and country music,

Eileen, Barb and I were very sorry to hear of your loss.  We will always remember the warm greeting,  hugs and warm handshakes we always got whenever and wherever we happend to meet you and Mack.  You will be in our thoughts and prayers during this time of change.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. I only hope that your fond memories can bring you peace and comfort.  I just got out of the hospital and was shocked to see this and not hear about it.  Prayers and condolences for all.

To family , friends and many acquaintances of Mack,
we have lost a great friend, a good person, we will sorely miss him.
