Hey heart goes out to the Mckellips, they were family to the Conn's in Merced, god bless you guy's, Chris Conn

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.

My English teacher from Merced College back in the 80s. Really cool guy.

Sincere sympathy to the family. Maurice was a good colleague and a good man.

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.

So sorry for your loss Matt. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

My deepest condolences to the McKellip's family. Mac had such a kind and gentle spirit. He will be missed.
