Not sure what to say?

I met this great man of God in New Jersey along with his precious wife. He is one of the greatest teachers who will never be forgotten.

So sorry to hear this. It was not a track meet unless Dr. Corley was there. As a local runner it was always calming to have him there. He was always very encouraging. Peace and prayers to you all.

Mac will always hold a special place in my heart! His laughter was contagious and his one liners classic!!! Barbara my sincere condolences!! Caleb and I send our love!!!

I had a dream with all of us on a strenuous hike and Mac was reminding us that there is an ice cream shoppe just over that ridge. His comical, motivational skills to keep us lazy kids hiking, will always be cherished and very dear to my heart. Embarrassingly, I can´t tell you how many times I actually fell for that. As I was waking from that memoir of a dream, Mac said he was actually staying there this time, at the ice cream shoppe, just beyond that ridge.

My sincere sympathy & caring to you Rachel, John, Zac & Nate. Please know you are in my thoughts & prayers.

Sympathies to all family members, especially to Doug. Your father impressed me as a kind, intelligent man. I am told he was a devout believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I wish I had been able to spend more time getting to better know him during our visits to Estes Park.

Barb, we are so sorry for your loss..You are all in our thoughts and prayers..

Dear cousin, you will be missed. Your hiking prowess set the standard, a goal we could never match. Your humor original and so unique. It is hard to imagine a day on this planet without you on it. I feel so blessed to have been your cousin.
