Dear Diana and Family, Words can’t express how saddened we are to hear the passing of Mac. We feel so lucky that we got to know you and Mac for closed to 50 years. Mac was one-of-kind, an amazing person and lead a remarkable life.
Nobody could tell funny stories like Mac....this is not a story but a saying (shoo shoo boom). Talking sports was always a favorite topic, a 49er lost on Sunday would be a huge discussion on Monday over coffee at “Stickney’s. I’ll especially cherish the memories going to 49er games at Candlestick.
It’s hard to lose someone who meant so much to all of us, and even harder that we can’t all be together to say Good-Bye. We want you to know we are with you in spirit-now and in the days and weeks ahead.
I will close by saying that Mac was kind hearted, fun-loving, and well loved at the Emporium and Macy’s. With Loving Memories Ken and Sandy Joe

Mac was a wonderful brother in law, giving, funny, and always willing to help anyone at anytime. I will miss him very much.
