Mac worked for over 15 years as a field supervisor at Hinkle & McCoy, a telephone contracting company, all over the midwest. He then opened his own telephone contracting company, "Macden," also serving the midwest, mostly in Illinois and Indiana. He last worked as a construction supervisor for a variety of contracting services.
Mac enjoyed spending his free time and retirement days tending to his yard work and gardening, especially his rose bushes. His family will fondly remember him as a skilled handy-man, always offering his help fixing things for his family and friends.
