My daughter and I were Mac and Lois' neighbors at Beacon Manor. They were always so kind to us. Ms. Joyce just told me of their passing this week. How blessed we were to know them - though it wasn't nearly long enough. Thank you for sharing your parents with us. They will always hold a special place in my heart.

I was privileged to work for Mac a few years. I had raw talent more raw than talent but he took under his wing and taught me the craft of photography. He was very good teacher and those lessons have stayed with me. I admired his work as photographer. A truly great talent and a good person.
