Not sure what to say?

I didn't have much time to share with your family. But you all touched my heart with the love and devotion you showed your husband and father. He was obviously a loving man. His body is now whole. Take care of each other.

I didn't have the opportunity to work with you and your family for very long, but in the brief period of time I spent in your home, I was touched by the love your grown children showed their dad. They were obviously raised by loving parents. Your husband was a doll. You and your family are in my thoughts.

I had the privilege of working with Mac for several years when he was the Youth Director at Langley. His tremendous personality always made for an entertaining environment on any project our team was involved in. As a young person just coming into the workforce, Mac taught me that we could still get the job done AND have fun at the same time. He will be truly missed.

I had the priviledge of serving with Chief Mac from 1976 to 1980 at Hdq TAC (LGS). During that time we went on many staff visits throughout the command and I came to depend on him for his expertise and knowledge which he readily shared with the units. His sense of humor was infectious and always took the pressure off any tense situations we might encounter. Socially Chief Mac and I did a lot of clamming and fishing near Plum Tree Island at the mouth of the East Back River. Great fun and we...

Mrs McLellan and family

I worked down the hall from Chief McLellan at HQ TAC in the 1980s. He gave us so many laughs! I know he will be missed. Over the years, I have remembered his humor.

Melba and Family,
I was deeply saddened to read of Mac's passing this past week. As the MWR Officer at Langley from Aug 1979-May 1983, I had the pleasure of working with him on numerous occasions and benefitted from his wisdom, knowledge and leadership. He was a tremendous asset to the Air Force and touched so many lives throughout his career. I feel honored and blessed to have had him as my friend.
Sincerely

Melba and Family,

The Air Force has truly lost a legend. I first met "Mac", or as he used to introduce himself to folks he'd known for a long time "Baldy P. Mclellan" was truly one of a kind. His sense of humor, especially on Staff Assistance Visits, made life a lot easier during the fast paced assignment to HQ TAC. He was always a gentleman, and a great mentor to the new troops, no matter what rank they were. Truly, he was a Chief's Chief. My thoughts are with you and your...

Dear Marsha,

I did not know your Dad but he must have been a good father to you. Your inner joy and "can do" attitude are what I admire the most. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Much love and many hugs,
Tom
