Paula and Family,
My prayers are with you and your family. I enjoyed setting by your dad at the West Point basketball games. Even when he wasn't in the best health, he still supported the team. He will be greatly missed. Just trust in knowing that God will be with you. Cindy Wise

Dear Bebe and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Mac always had a smile and no matter where I saw him he would always speak and ask how I was doing.

We will miss Mac - he was always such a great guy and very personable when we were down visiting next door. I know he has his wings and is looking down from above watching over one and all. Bo & Teresa Bennett

To all who share our sadness at saying goodbye to Mac, know you are in our thoughts. To pass on a phrase I have read, "Saying goodbye is the most difficult thing in life - and we never learn to be good at it." So true! We came to know and love Mac after our daughter Cindy joined the Pillsbury family. He was a most gracious and kind gentleman. We last shared a crab feast with him at John and Cindy's and that will remain a memory for us. If we can be of any assistance to all, know we are here. Love, Layton and Thelma Allen.

John, MaryMac, Paula, Billy, Ann and Bebe you have our deepest sympathy. I really liked your Dad he was always so warm and genuine. I remember the first time I meet him many years a go at a party at your house in West Point, he made all of us feel so welcome and just part of the family. I am fortunate to have known him and I will always remember him as I last saw him, with his big smile and happy disposition at John and Cindy's Crab Feast this past fall. If there is anything I can do to help you, please just let me know.
