Dear Swigert family, I had the honor to serve the swigert family at the cincinnati country club. Mostly Andrew and Mr Swigert. He knew what he wanted as i usually knew what he wanted. He always liked a chardonay w/ his dinner. He was a very well dressed man.who always seemed to suprise me how fast he still was for being 103. He was a very kind soul. And now he rest in peace and enjoy being with the lord. What an icon he was. Mr. Swigert you will be missed very much by everyone at the Cincinnati Country Club. I hope you're at peace.

Dear Mack, I truly wish that I could be there to pay my respects to you in person. Thank you for being a kind and wonderful father-in-law to me, and a loving and caring grandfather to Lauren and great grandfather to Ethan. I will always cherish your memory and will miss your strong and enduring presence in our lives. You were devoted to your family your entire life. My heart goes out to all of the members of the Swigert and Hamilton families, especially to Andrew and Amy, who were always there for him. Mack was blessed with a long, full and distinguished life. He will be remembered and missed by many. I will make a contribution to the ALS Foundation in both Mack's name and in Oliver's name. With Much Love, Kathy Gransee (Swigert)

I remember seeing this cleanly dressed gentleman eating lunch often in Hathaways. I was always impressed with his kindness toward the help and how he often spoke to others as he passed.
