Mr. Mac was a key part of my childhood - as my gymnastics coach - I even babysat for you Mya when you when you were just a little one. I hope that you and Alex hold on to all the great memories to guide you through this difficult time

I had the great pleasure of working with Lee for many years at Masuk. He was kindhearted and a true gentleman. He always had a positive outlook and had a good word for everyone. I have countless fond memories of all the early mornings we spent together completing the daily sub lists. We shared many laughs and it was a great way to begin the day. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to call him a friend. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to all the family of Mr. Mackiewicz. I remember when Mr. Mackiewicz first came to Masuk, and he had a lot of patience and kind demeanor. I drove him crazy, and I know this, because he told me on many occasions!!

Mr Mac (Lee) was one of the adminitiators when I first started at Masuk. He always ended each day's morning announcements with, "Have a happy day!". I'm glad to have known him. He will be missed. My thoughts and sympathies go out to his entire family.

I loved working with him at Masuk. He gave me a great present one year - wolves painted on a piece of slate because he knew I loved wolves. My Melissa took gymnastics with him. My sympathy goes out to all of you.
