John Frederick Mack

Came to the gas station I was working at to mock me for not doing more with my life as a consequence of my tbi (when I was 10 years old)

Mr. Mack was one of my favorite teachers at BHS. He was a very funny guy and a great teacher of literature.

His daughter wrote a wonderful memorial. Thinking of you Karen, hope you are doing ok.

This man taught me to think critically about film and messages (Film literature) and that has never left me. I still talk about it in regards to the films he chose for us to watch which wholeheartedly would not be allowed in todays public classroom. He made excellent choices in a career and in investing in his students. Life well lived. Thank you for crossing my path.

So very sorry to learn of Mr. Mack's passing. As one of his students at BHS, I have great memories of him. He was an awesome teacher, so enthusiastic and fun to learn from. We also really enjoyed his cars, and his knowledge of them. He was just such a great guy. My deepest condolences to the family.

Mr Mack was such a wonderful teacher. I have talked highly about him and his film lit class for years, so much so that my husband mentioned it last week when talking about some movies.

Former BHS student class of 1990. I loved Mr. Mack class. He was a greta teacher who always talked to his students but did not talk down to them. One of the only teachers I remember really liking in high school. RIP...

I met John on one of his best days after moving to Summer Oaks in Eugene. He seemed fully in charge though Karen worried that he was walking around without his walker. He was about to help her lift a water feature - 40#- to return it to the store. I know I would have enjoyed him as a next-door neighbor!

I truly loved having him as a teacher. It´s been 30 years since high school and he was one of my favorites. He made us think and showed great movies in film class like Lawrence of Arabia and Cool Hand Luke. My thoughts go out to his family. I loved the colorful language he occasionally used, it made him seem like a real person we could all relate too
