God Bless the McClinton family during this trying time. I am saddened to hear of the death of Mr. Mac. May God Bless his family and help them get through their great loss.
Mr. Mac, as everyone called him, was always willing to help the fire department. He even housed one of our fire trucks in we began. A man of a few words but a heart of gold. Livonia will miss him dearly.
