Dear Lisa,
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our heart and we are never, ever the same" - Anon.
It was my good fortune in life to have had the opportunity to be a Nutritional Sciences Department student and colleague of your father, Mack. He truly was a remarkable teacher and professional who "helped light many candles" that illuminated the path for the lives of people and created many lasting footprints. Participating in...

Dear Lisa,

What a beautiful description of a life well-lived. We are sorry for your loss; you have been in our prayers.

Love and peace to you,

Garth and Jill Egger

I knew Margie first and then met Mack through the U of A Faculty/Staff bowling league. He was one of those people who you meant once and they were your friends. He will be missed. My sympathy to Lisa and her family.

Lisa,
My husband and I were both students of your father back in the late 1970's; I took Nutritional Biochem and my husband took Ag Biochem. We came to his memorial service and enjoyed learning even more about his full and wonderful life. The previous guest book entries are right on the money about Dr. McCaughey's excellent teaching methods and true concern for his students. I most remember him telling us about how bad trans fats were - this was almost 30 years before the American...

Lisa: I was sorry to hear about your Dad. I was both a student and employee of your father's in the late 80s/early 90s. I have fond memories of his biochem class..I still have the book and some of the notes. He was an amazing teacher. I worked as his teaching assistant for the freshman class. His office was always a mess, but he knew where everything was; he kept scotch the desk drawer "for those bad days;" I remember him smoking cigars in the office..and when someone would complain, he...

Lisa I remember you from swimming, and your Dad and your Mom as great supporters of you
and swimming.
I'd lost track of your family but have fond memories.
My condolances

Mac was the man who taught me morse code and radio theory back in 1959 -60. He became a close friend of my Father, Cecil Buchanan K7KZE and Uncle, John Buchanan K7CRO and a major role model to me. I listened in awe to his stories of his service in WWII. I can still see him scooting around town in his Triumph TR 3 and his ever present smile.

Dr. McCaughey was truly a role model. I had taken his nutritional biochemistry back in 1984 and his skills as a lecturer were very much appreciated. He always made time for his students and was so eager to hear the success stories of his students.

The three memories that I will always carry of him are his love and use of complex overhead projector overlays to simplify complex biochemical processes, his motorcycle that he seemed to ride everywhere, and that I met my soul mate and wife...
