Mac lived life fully and with joy. His fine wit and humor will be missed around Mt. Holly and the Schussmeisters. God keep you always, Mac.

Gone are the calls "Hey Cous What have you been up to?" Many fond and happy memories I have and hope the family and friends have. Mac was one of a kind as anyone that knew him knew. Love and prayers for all as Mac makes his journey home to the family that is there to greet him. Thanks to his sister-in-law Eileen and those that was there for him on this last leg of his journey.
