In my house he was known as Mack. He served with my Dad's outfit, 102nd Engineering National Guard South Portland. Mac and Corinne were such good friends to dad and mom. After dad was hit with Alzheimer's, they were there. Mac was old school and a person my father, Sgt. Rogers, thought a lot of and respected. On his behalf, we thank Mac and his entire family. Sincerely, Joel Rogers.
