On his first day as our teacher at Mater Dei, Mr. Mack told us that the most important thing he wished for us to learn was Christianity. Our Social Studies class was an eclectic mix of lighthearted troublemakers and serious students. Mr. Mack was a wonderful teacher and turned the other cheek to endure occasional hijinx in his class but always brought things back to order. I will always remember a day when he called on us one at a time to go around the room and name the 35 or so other...

Richard and I share a sudden profound sadness hearing that Hal is gone. We shared many happy carefree days as students at SCU in the 60's. We pray that memories for all the family will soften the pain.

Hal, you have been 'promoted'. Seems you had a wonderful life here and now you know paradise for eternity. You left wonderful memories for your family and many others. I can only imagine how it feels to be able to see God face to face! 'Til you meet your family and friends again...God bless us all, in Jesus' name, Mary Huanosto MDHS '68

I remember Mr. Mack from Civics class in 1968 or 1969. He jumped up on his desk, stood and lectured us from there...making sure we would not forget what he was saying! In my box of memories I have a button several of us girls wore that said "Harold Cares". We all appreciated his teaching skills. He's in God's hands now. Deirdre McGurrell "69"

Mr. Mack was my civics teacher at MDHS in 1968. The lessons he taught me then, have carried with me through out the years. Thanks Mr. Mack.

I most recently saw "HalMack" in 2008 at a school reunion. He was the same kind and gentle man that I had known from school. His charm was always couched in a grace and poise that was so rare to find in a person. If I feel this sad over the loss of an old school friend, I can't imagine how much his family and close friends will miss him.

To Hal's family:
I was a classmate of Hal's at SCU. He was a leader then and a leader his entire life. He is now at rest with the Lord. I remember Hal very well and very fondly. God bless him and you. Gary Shara "67
