My condolences and deepest sympathies to Ronnie and her family. Hank was a long time friend dating back to grammar school. We shared many a fun time in our teens. As North Enders our roots run deep. Farewell old buddy.

Mack was married to my cousin Ronnie. I have fond memories of him and Ronnie throughout the years. Most recently meeting up with them in Wendys restaurant. He Always had a warm greeting and a "smile" for you. I will miss him and I'm sure he will be looking down and watching over us. I'm sure he, Aunt Mary, Uncle Sam, Aunt Rose and Marilyn and Leo are going to have lots of things to talk over about the family events that they shared and missed out on over the last several years and cousin "Red". He and Mac shared a lot of jokes during family get togethers.
