I enjoyed working many years with Mac at the Gas Company. We spent many days and nights at the Propane-air Peak Shave Plant at Riverdale. He taught me many things about natural gas and I will miss him.

Dear Andy;
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We can't really say we have lost him because we know where he is; he is with our Lord in Heaven.
