Rick, I was so sad to hear of your dad's death-he was truly an amazing,cool fellow! His memories of his early years never ceased to amaze me and his sense of humor was always a bright spot in any day-my thoughts are with you.....

Truly a blessing to be apart of such a wonderful mans life. I was honored to be Mr. Mackays nurse.  I always left with a smile on my face and joy in my heart.

Loved working with Mr MacKay at Caldwell-Mackay. 
Sorry for your loss.

Rick, I know your Dad was very proud of you.  So sorry for your loss.  Blessings my friend.  John Covington

Jack was the most sagacious, kind and witty gentleman of gentlemen. He and my late father Ken Edwards passed many an hour over the years talking with gusto about sport and culture An accomplished raconteur who put all at ease, Jack touched our lives in Wales often and we shared such fun and love on our visits on both sides of the Atlantic. We send our thoughts and prayers from Wales to you. Ali and Verna Edwards, Brynmawr, South Wales, UK

So sorry for you loss. I know he will be missed.

Being so modest, he would likely never have admitted this himself, but my grandfather was a natural talent at the many things he endeavored in his 105 plus years.  From engineering to big band dancing, scooping ice cream to playing Rook, catching fireflies to writing beautiful letters, storytelling to providing sage advice and real world life lessons...and much more. 

One of his lessons was "do not take pen to paper until the spirit moves you."  I am so moved, even though it is with a heavy heart. 

Put simply, if you knew him, you adored him. And I am told that even if you only met him once, you remembered it, often and fondly. I am humbled to have had the honor to call him my grandfather. I have been graced by his constant presence in my life -- a remarkable gift to me for more than 42 years. He was magical, charming, unconditionally loving, the essence of a true Southern gentleman, and a real renaissance man with an extraordinary soul and a grand wit. I will treasure every moment I had with him throughout my life and do my best to share who he was, again and again, with those in my life. 

He was also a man of deep faith.  So, I know that God has received him home with a warm welcome...and I'm hoping maybe, just maybe, along with his "sweetheart Gwen," his old dog Alfie and a pack of his favorite licorice...while Artie Shaw strikes up the band in the background....Stardust or Moonglow - your pick Granddad.

An amazing man who lived such a full life and was admired & loved by so many. He will be missed, yet this candle of his legacy will never burn out. Love to Jack & Kaye Mackay family.

May you find peace and comfort in God during this time. So sorry for the loss of your Dad and Grandfather, Jack, Kaye, Tripp, Christy and Mary Katherine.

Such a precious soul......Mr. and Mrs. Mackay was patients of mine at Acipco Dental.  Always enjoyed talking with Mr. Mackay when he came for his dental visits.  I have thought about him many times over the years since the Dental Dept. closed.  He was such a sweet man.  I know he will be missed by all that knew him.  With deepest sympathy, Sherry King Hitt.

So sorry for your loss. How God blessed you to have been able to share live with your father for so many years.

I'm so blessed to have been his granddaughter-in-law for 15 years.  He was the best grandfather and greatdaddy we could have ever hoped for.

The finest man I've ever loved.  I am truly blessed to have married Rick so I could have
Jack as a father in law.

Mr. Mackay will be missed by all. I am so blessed to have known this wonderful gracious man.

What a great life and long time friend. He was one inspirational Gentlemen to me and loved life. He will be grossly missed.

Memories are what makes this world worth living in and Mr Mackay has left may great ones.I think you sir for the wonderful Daughter In Law I have .God bless your family in this time of sorrow .

Memories of Mr. MacKay as a child....in the TV room watching Wimbledon with Mrs. MacKay, and Rick.  Always eating saltines and cheddar cheese.  A habit that remains as a form of Breakfast at Wimbledon.  When Rick and I would come in late from socializing he always got up to check we were ok.  His sardonic smile and incredible sense of humor will be missed.

Three generations of MacKays blessed to have known this man.  We will miss you, Granddad!

Mr. MacKay was one of the finest engineers and genuine human beings I have ever known. I could never thank him enough for what he did to insure that Caldwell-MacKay would be considered a leader in the scrubber industry! I am honored to have known him and I love him! Heaven is richer today to have Mr. MacKay!
