Good man. He and Red Pritchard were two of the "old timers" that introduced me to the local "culture" in 1968 when I joined the MC faculty. Always enjoyed our association.

Mac was a beloved colleague of mine in the English Dept at Merced College, and he was on the hiring committee when I was hired. I looked up to him and loved sitting and talking with him until he retired and left the college , and we all missed him afterwards. He was a hilarious and gentle hearted man, beloved by his students, colleagues, and community. There will never be another Mac McKellips!

I am so sorry to hear of Mac's passing. Mr. McKellips was my first English teacher at Merced College. He inspired in me a love of literature and urged me towards an pursuing an English major. After I graduated, I was hired by the Merced College English Dept and was lucky enough to work with him as a colleague for 2 years before his retirement. He was a very special teacher who touched many students' lives. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family.
