Not sure what to say?

Mr. Mac was one of my 9th grade teachers- I graduated in 1983. I have never forgotten him and the way he was so passionate about teaching. You could tell he loved science and wanted us to love it too. He taught me to think critically and to pay attention to detail, both skills that have served me well in my long healthcare career. I am saddened for your loss. May God bless you all during this time of sorrow.

Mr. McMullen was my physical science teacher when I was in ninth grade. He was the most intelligent man I had ever met. He was tough but he was fair and one of the teachers I never forgot. My condolences to his family and friends.

I taught with James in the Lancaster School District. He was a gentleman. He always had a kind word for his students and faculty. We will miss him.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. From Jerome and Edna Cureton and Family

To Michelle and the rest of the family --
I was so sad to hear read this morning of Mr. Mac's passing. It is so easy for me to close my eyes and see him at the front of our 9th grade class -- showing his passion for teaching and maybe a little lack of patience with those not interested in learning. He taught me at least as much about enjoying the things you find interesting as he did about science -- and that was a wonderful lesson.

Take time this week to store the best...

Mr. Mac was my science teacher at Barr Street (Campus 2). He had the patience of a saint especially since we used sharp objects for dissection of earthworms and frogs as well as fire from burners for chemical reactions! When tests were given, he would stand in front of the windows seemingly to be watching what was going on, his glasses on hand but he was actually watching us and catching the ones who turned the test into a group project! He never embarrassed any of his students either by...

So very sorry to hear about Mr . McMullen. I had great respect for him as a teacher and so enjoyed his classes. Michell please accept my heartfelt condolences . Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
