He was a hard but very fair man who was given the greatest respect from both his superiors and subordonates. Im so sorry for your loss. Mac was a true leader of men and im proud to have knowen him


Shane,

Mate we worked together for 13 years and although we had our ups and downs we also had many memories and laughs together at Monier. You became one of those people that shaped my direction in life and gave me the courage to travel to China. Now I have a wonderful family and I thank you! I am saddened by your recent passing and have only just heard. You were a great family man and my thoughts are with you and Karen although we have not spoken for some time. You will surely be...

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Karen and family, Sharyn and Peter

So sorry to hear of Shane's passing. It is hard to believe with his larger than life personality. I can still remember him striding down the main street of Matamata in his Navy uniform on a Friday night, and giving anyone who stared too long a hard time! Sorry I wasn't there to say goodbye, but will always think of Shane as my fun big cousin.

Sympathy and love to you all on the loss of a fine fine fellow, rest in peace skin.
You were a mighty man

Shane I am at a loss for words. We knew each other for 30+ years and, when you brought Karen to San Diego, I felt the love you and Karen shared. We will miss you dearly. People come and go in your life, but you remained a true friend. All our love, thoughts and prayers for you, Karen and the kids. Love, Patti Sanchez-Bingham, Mum, Saleena and Marcos.
