George Edward Mack, Jr

I just saw this that George had left us. I met him thru the INDY group at bowling. I would see him on occasion at Menards where I work. We would chat and joke. George was always smiling, such a nice guy. A beautiful tribute. I have missed seeing him at Menards. R.I.P. George. My heartfelt condolences to his entire family.

George was usually a force for fun and frolic on the dance floor. Usually more than willing to goof around a bit. He often had a joke to share and greeted me with a smile. He will be missed. Thanks for the fun George!

I was so saddened, tonight, to hear of George´s recent passing. I only got the chance to sit and talk with him a couple of times, at Manhattan´s, and thought I´d see him soon and pick up with more great conversation. George´s smile, intelligence, and humor were undeniable and he had the ability to make everyone feel special and interesting themselves! Godspeed and rest, George. Your twinkling eye and contagious enjoyment of life will be missed by so many people!

Rest in Peace, George. Keep them laughing and dancing in heaven.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of George Mack. May he rest in peace

I will truly miss George. George was one of a kind. You had to love George because he was George. The dance floor will never be the same. My condolences to the family. I am unable to attend the memorial, however I did make a donation in his memory.

I remember a really great New years Eve party. Thank you for being a part of it.

My first memory 8 years ago bowling and then dancing especially enjoying the summer concerts. He will be greatly missed by many. R.I.P. George

Those of us who knew George for years will remember his quick smiles, his goofy laugh and quirky sense of humor. He always enjoyed himself wherever he turned up. He marched to a different drummer but always meant well. So many funny stories come to mind but mostly he will be missed by all that knew him.

I remember George tooling around in his little red MG car. His shrewd card playing, wisecracks and infectious laugh will be missed. My sincerest condolences to the Mack family.

What first attracted me to George was his quick mind and wit. He could be incredibly funny. He'd have me laughing so hard I was crying. He had no filters but at least you knew what he was thinking. I swear sometimes he was thinking to himself not realizing he was speaking out loud. He brought joy to so many with his dancing. I think that's why were getting so much snow now. He's stomping up a storm and twirling about in heaven.
He was very proud of his children and grandchildren.
I miss you George, have some "Olive Juice" Ta-Ta, Molly

George always brought light with his effervescent smile wherever he went it seems. Our world will miss his joy and energy to live life to the fullest. My sincere condolences to his family and close friends.

George was someone who will be missed simply by being George. He lived life on his own terms, always smiling, caring and one who was matter of fact. One best part of George that consistently made me smile was his willingness to share a bite on his plate or a taste of his drink, if you simply asked if it was any good. RIP George, it will be hard to replace the hole you left behind in so many hearts.

George was always there, wherever I went. Smiling, friendly, with his quirky sense of humor. I can't imagine a meetup without George. I miss you already! RIP.

I will always remember how kind George was to me. Always pleasant , smiling and making people laugh. I shall miss dancing with him at Manhattan's Bar and Grill and Cooper's Corner. Hope he is dancing in heaven! Delilah

George was a character with a personality a writer would definitely have fun with. What I loved about George was his brutal honesty, no pretenses with George. What you saw was what you got. Although at times, he could have used some filtering, he meant no harm. A fun dancer beyond compare, a smile no matter what life threw his way and a mindset of an inquisitive, playful child. One night after dancing most of the night away, he texted me, "Thank you, you made me feel alive". Those words will live on with me forever. RIP George.

George was a good dancer and I always enjoyed when we had a chance to dance together. He will be missed.

Would see him dancing with a smile on his face

Dancing with him on the dance floor at 119 Stage on December 30. He was always smiling. He was funny too.

So sorry to hear about George's passing. He was a good friend. Loved cards and games. My first meeting was my first game night after becoming a widow myself. He made me feel welcome and part of the group. He was always fun. Rest in peace. Nancy Huck

I believe my first memory of George was an outdoor concert at Cantigny. He was such a character and made me laugh. I enjoyed when he would ask me to dance at Manhattans. Rest in peace George - you will be missed.

He was a fun guy! Always had me laughing and was a pretty good bowler.
I needed help installing my new kitchen light and he was right there! We shared a lovely lunch and conversation. I can´t believe he´s moved on. But I will see him again

What a beautiful tribute. Not at all surprised George was there for those in the hospital while returning from Vietnam. I will miss seeing him out dancing and his warm welcome hugs!

Always a smile. Met George through the MEET UP group. A fun dance partner who I will truly miss. Rest in Peace

George Mack was an active member of meetup and I'm so sad to hear that he passed away. He was a really funny guy who could brighten a room in an instant with his quick wit humor and smile. I will miss him greatly and look back on memories with him at meetup events.

I had the pleasure of bowling with George a few times on Wednesday with the INDY group bowlers. A very fun and competitive bowler. He told me way was because at that time we were bowling for a quarter playing the card bowling game. He wanted to win for me maybe he thought I was broke and needed the money I laughed and said it's all good all about the fun. Thanks so much George for the good times. Rest in peace

I will always renember George´s sense of humor. First time I met him he was cracking the typical George jokes. He made everyone laugh and smile. Hope you are laughing yourxway ibto heaven George. Yousurely will get the angels laughing and smiling in heaven. Bless you and rest in peace!

Manhattan's, Carol Stream. Eating, drinking and dancing.

Coopers Corner, Manhattan´s, etc.. I always remember George with a huge smile on his face! He would Dance with all the beautiful single ladies! Making everyone feel special while laughing and having a good time! We will all miss you George! Your were a happy guy with a great heart!!

George truly cared about people. He was always first to offer a hand to someone in need. RIP George.

You wrote the most beautiful life story I´ve ever read, your dad would be proud. I was a fellow bowler who enjoyed his smiles and infectious laughter. I´ll miss him. May his memories bring you peace and comfort.

There are so many times he made me smile. His passion when dancing is the one that reminds me most of George.

A good brother and a man who truly lived life on his own terms.

What an incredible man he was. He was such a lover of life. Our friends are an incredible group of diverse and eclectic people yet we would always have the best time dancing at outdoor concerts enjoying live bands and other great get-togethers. I can't remember ever since George without a smile on his face. I / we will surely Miss him.
