I worked at a local tire shop in Wheat Ridge during my time in Colorado. Mack (Pops) walked in one morning, poured himself a cup of coffee and headed towards the shop. I stopped him to tell him that we did not allow customers in the shop due to liability reasons, he laughed and told me that he was the director of company morale, laughed, and proceeded to walk in the shop. My Manager told me that he was just a friendly guy that came to hang out once in a while and that it was fine. Eventually I introduced my self to him and he had a very familiar look on his face and said "you from Memphis, aint'cha boy" I replied "yes sir, I am, it sounds like you're a little southern yourself." He told me that he was from Mississippi and once he found out that I was raised about 15 miles from where he grew up we had an immediate bond and friendship. We often talked about his baseball days with The Memphis Red Sox and his little brother, Charley (any southern man knows Charley Pride). I found myself wondering how he was doing and checked online to find that he has passed. I just wanted to share that Mack was a good friend, and an even better story teller. My time with him did not last long as I was not there long, but the stories he had and shared will live on forever. May you rest in peace Pops, I will never forget the kind soul you were.

I met you in Aurora when you spoke about the Baseball team you were on. I always wanted to visit with you again. We didn't live very far away. Today I reached out to Dion to see if it was possible to see you again, but then learned through Wikipedia that you passed on 2 yrs. ago. Regretfully, I waited too long. I am pleased to learn that the Rockies sponsored you into the MBL.
