He later followed his passion to become an antique dealer and owned Mack’s Antiques for over sixty years. He loved going to Canton each month as well as sales at the Cowbarn and Fair Park, along with antique shows all over the country. In his later years, he enjoyed a part time job at Avis/Budget for more than twenty years, where he made many dear friends.

Mack enjoyed road trips to the mountains, antique shows and buying trips, telling stories, watching Westerns, and spending time with his friends and family. His grandchildren, Sadie and George, were his pride and joy. He loved watching them grow up and supported them in every way possible. He never met a stranger and he always had a story to tell. It seemed he knew people everywhere!

Mack's welcoming, loving, kind, and generous spirit will be missed by all who knew him. He was loved by so many and will be missed so much. He has left us with so many wonderful memories, and we are grateful for that.
