Not sure what to say?

We're thankful and blessed that we have the memories of his kindness, wit, and love for his family. May comfort and peace reach all who miss him, but also praises that he's with the Lord. Grandpa Mac will be missed.

I am so sorry I did not see this earlier so I could come to the service. Mac was like a Dad to me while Sandy and I were in School together. He was so kind and had a great sense of humor. My prayers go out to all of the family. His kindness will be missed.

We are sorry to hear of Mac's passing. I was in 5th grade when my family moved across the street from Mac and Mary Jane. They welcomed us into their Penbrook neighborhood. We all became friends ... and a few years later, they let me babysit. Mac was a good friend to my parents, and my brother and sister, and later to our families. Mac was always friendly and caring ... one of the good guys who we could count on. Sincere condolences to Mary Jane and family.

Pa Mac I will never forget bringing Vinnie over and him always running to the refrigerator and pressing the nose on the smiley face to make is sing "You are my sunshine ". I believe you gave that magnet to Vinnie and he played it the whole way home. You will be missed greatly. Love you always, Leslie Dundore

Dear Mary Jane and Family,

So saddened to hear of Mac's passing. I knew him for most of those 83 years since we lived less than a block apart until he went into the Navy.

My deepest sympathy to all of you.

Sorry to hear of Mac's passing. Growing up across the street I remember him whistling the kids home to dinner. It became my signal too to get home. He was a good neighbor, friend and eventual mentor when I took over the rubber stamp business. He was generous and kind, introducing us to Horse Valley and Camp which my son Matt and his family enjoy today.

I sincerely hope that all the memories you, his family, have will comfort you as you say good bye.

Marlin was a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed. Prayers and condolences to his special family. Sending love.

Sending prayers of comfort for the McElheny family.
