My condolences to the Macklin Family and all that knew this man. "Mack", as we called him at Laidlaw, could bring a smile to your face or in my case make you laugh even when you didn't want to. He had a sense of humor that was untouchable and even when he would give life advice or "telling you how it is", there was always something about the way he presented it that made you understand, feel better and yes...make you laugh. Mack, you will be missed by many but never forgotten.
