It was sad to read about Mac's passing. He was always kind and considerat,especially to his relatives. He was a faithful visitor to my mother throughout her four stay in a nursing home in Raleigh where she was totally incapacited. He will certainly be missed.

I have very fond memories of High School days with Mac. Josh and I are out of town and unable to come tell you in person how sorry we are of your loss. Our deep and heartfelt condolences reach out to Hal, Betsy, and Don and all the family. May you find comfort in knowing that others have good memories and care. Most sincerely, Toby B. Wall
