Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy to the McLaughlin family on the loss of Bernard. May he rest in peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Joyce, Daria, Jody My sincerest condolences on your loss. I know how close the family has always been. Mac had the single most influence on my life and career. Going to work for him in 77 to him marrying me and my first wife in 79 and many years after until he left the auto parts business. We had the best time at work he made it challenging and fun. I always admired and respected him. RIP Big Mac Denny Bounds

Mr. Mac, my first boss and the best one!!! My heart is heavy as I recall all the fond memories I have of Mr. Mac. I will surely miss him!!!! Rest in peace, Mr. Mac.

I only met Mr. MAC once through his son, my very good friend Jody. Mr. Mac was also the teacher, first employer, and best friend of my significant other Arnold Dawson. I always heard so many wonderful stories about him, and I am grateful to finally have the pleasure of meeting such a wonderful man that seemed larger than life. My heart absolutely breaks for the family, and I offer my time , my love, and my services as a nurses aide to his mother if ever needed anytime of day or night. Thank...
