Not sure what to say?

We love that man. He was a real gentleman. Sorry we are out of State for the winter and could not be there for his farewell. May he rest in peace.

We know he was a great man by his children. We admire how they love and laugh and support each other. They stand up for what what they believe in and are gracious, smart, kind and hard working people. They loved and respected Mac and the way he their mom lead their lives and refer to it frequently.
Nice work Mac, we owe you.

Dear John and family, Our sincere condolences to the McManamin Clan. I was honored to have Mac as a friend.

A true "handshake" word is my bond guy. Thanks for the "Grubstake" in June 1950. You will never be forgotten

You were a great Alaskan, Mac! May you and Mary Jean find loving peace together.

Mac and his wonderful Mickey were a dynamic duo and force in Alaska's growth and helped lay a lot of cornerstones for a strong Alaska. May they now rest in peace together again.

A regular fixture on "Old Fourth Ave" in
the "Good Ole Days". He was fortunate
to have been in Alaska during a time when opportunity for the stout heart was for the taking. He left a legacy
of giving and inspiration for others to follow.
RIP

John, I send my condolences to you and your family. I did not know your father, but I certainly knew of him by reputation during my brief but exciting years in Anchorage. I wish you well. Bill

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family John! Definitely a life well lived!
