I met Mack 11 years ago when I started to date Curt and I instantly fell in love with him. I loved how he watched and video taped all the latest TV shows like Friends, Survivor, American Idol and etc.. I will miss going over to the house and seeing him sitting in the recliner.

We will never forget you.. and will always love you...

Love, Curt, Diana (AKA Princess #2)(I should have been #1-Ha,Ha), Matthew and soon Ethan

Mack was a very unique person to know and a privilige to work for and with. He was always fair and straight with his decisions. We all remember his daily naps, his smile, his pickem up please, change jingling in his pockets. What wonderful memories we get to keep because we were lucky enough to have been a part of his life on his team. My condolences to his wife and family. We will miss him.

I met Mack in FPL at the Hialeah office in 1981, where I had the pleasure of working for him. I loved and admired him for all his special qualities and I looked up to him as my boss and my friend. He was always kind, sweet, and gentle with an infectious smile. He was truly a remarkable man. Everyday was like working with my dad, because they were so similar. I offer my deepest condolences to your loving family, but you must know that you were blessed by the privilege of having him in your life, like all of us whose life he touched.

I met and worked for Mack in the front counter of the old Hialeah office back in 1980. One of my fondest memories was one time I had to wake him from his break nap because I had a very upset customer and needed his help. I aproached him slowly and say "Mack you need to wake up!" He jumped and we both started to laugh so hard. He was a really great guy and I miss him. Marcia



I also met Mack when I transfered from another office to work for him on the phone board in 1980. A kinder, gentler, and more honest man has never walked this earth. In all the time I knew him, I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. To this day I can still hear his voice when he would say "Pick em up!. Our deepest condolences to the Warren family.

To know Mack Warren is to remember his bright smile and contagious laugh. He always lifted my spirits when I was around him. Mack was my uncle and we were blessed by God to have such a loving man in our lives. His loving kindness and loving spirit will always remain in our hearts. Thank you heavenly Father for allowing him to bless our lives.

Mack was one of my Phone Board Supervisors. He knew the procedures like the back of his hand. I can still hear him saying "Pick them up please, 5 calls waiting" He was a fine man and a pleasure to work with. It use to amaze me watching him take his 20 minute nap sitting upright, head in hands in the break room, and always waking up to stretch minutes before it was time to go back to work. The world needs more people like him.

I met Mack on my first day with FPL in 1966. Through the years he proved to be a good boss, a mentor and a good friend. I admired his honesty in the business world and that he lived a life doing good things and always being respectful to people. I'm better for knowing him. My sincere condolences to Pat, his children, grandchildren and siblings.
