Paula and I are very sorry to hear that Maxcy has passed away. When I worked at Sawyer Auto Parts in Washington NC Maxcy taught me a lot of things and I thoroughly appreciated him taking the time to teach me things that would have taken me many years to learn. He loved mechanical problems and I don't know of many things he couldn't fix. Our hearts thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy and the rest of the family. All of you are in our prayers.
