"Mr. Mac" was one of a kind. He was a father and friend to many that not only passed through the doors of the barbershop, but through the hallways of life. He reintroduced what the real "Black Barbershop" was really about. There was never a harsh word that ever came out of his mouth and he was always for the 'underdog'. Physically he will be missed, but his spirit will always be in the first chair.
