So sorry for your loss. I’ve known Mac a long time. We met in Korea in 1996. He was our new W1 for tech supply I was a QC NCOIC. When he showed up to Dyna Corp. I was shocked to see him. Needless to say he jumped in and started working on fixing so many things. I am proud to call him my friend and brother in arms.
