Not sure what to say?

Mr. Waggoner meant a lot to me throughout my elementary years. He was principal/Superintendent there since I was in first grade. When I was made Worthy Advisor (president) of a club I belonged to he was the guest speaker for me. I cared for him deeply and I will miss him greatly.

We so fondly remember the summer evenings spent at Pinecrest Lake with Mack and your family. He was a special person. He set a great example on how to live one's life with integrity and sincerity. Much love from the Fox Family - Elizabeth, Lynn, Lisa and Glenn.

I met and started hiking with Mack and Marilyn last summer. He was always there helping to keep the group going. He organized snowshoe trips in the winter and could always be depended on to be on time and ready to go. He will be missed by all that have interacted with him. While it was hard for family, friends, and community, It was nice that he was doing what he enjoyed. My condolences and sincere sympathy to Marilyn and family.

I was Mack's secretary at Knights Ferry School from 1990 to 2001. He was Knights Ferry's Superintendent for 11 years and prior to that 2 years as a teacher. He was a very special man and very close to my heart. He had a great sense of humor (kind of corny, as the kids would say) and was a pleasure to work with. He will DEFINITELY be missed by all. My condolences and sincere sympathy go out to his whole family.

My sons and I want to express our condolences to the Waggoner family. My kids went to Knights Ferry Elementary. And we are better people for having known him. There are so many memories, so many "corny" jokes, so much wisdom shared...Thank you Mack. You cared about the kids, and bottom line, that's what it was all about. Paul is now 24 and a daddy, and David, 22, is on his second tour in Iraq. Those days in KF flew by so quickly...but the memories live on.
