Lauren, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I do recall meeting your Dad once and in that short visit he certainly was as described in the obit (your Mom was sweet too!). What a wonderful gentleman. His lovely daughter is a great reflection of his fine character.

Mr. Mac always had a smile on his face. He used to come and read to my preschool class. The children would just sit and listen as he made the characters of the story come alive. He was a treasure not soon to be forgotten. Love, Miss Jean

I'm so thankful to have spent time with Mr. & Mrs. McCracken in June. Some of my fondest childhood memories are with this loving family. In my thoughts & prayers , I know he is laughing and creating shenanigans with his family, friends and my father in heaven. Thoughts and prayers to you all during this time. Much Love, Holly

Please accept my dearest and heartfelt sympathy; I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,2
