As my dad, Jerry Kash would say " MacGregor was one of the true great ones". When those two got together, the world shook and their wifes were pissed. I know that everyone who know you will miss you and I for one will always love you Uncle Mac.

Mack holds a very special place in my memories. From teenage years when he had that "knowing" look and understanding about him to later years when I could drink a Guinness or visit and hear stories of his work, family, sailing, etc. He was a good man and will be missed, though always in our memories. Our thoughts and heart go out to you all; Mary, Jules, Lauren, Rich, Jean and Charlene

Our sincere condolences to the Fiske Family on behalf of the Walsh Family. We've heard the many happy stories of our Dad, Bill Walsh with Mac and fondly remember the nice story your Dad wrote when our father passed away in July '75. As recent as last week our mom, Anita spoke of a story that included our fathers. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and want you to know we have warm memories of your Dad.

Sincerely, Anita, Billy, Steven, Tom, Kenny and Tim Walsh
