He also enjoyed restoring classic vehicles. Mac was a regular at the senior center in Muleshoe and served on the board there as well. He enjoyed all types of music and liked to sing at church. Mac loved his dog, Sudie and all of his family, but most of all, he loved the Lord. He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Muleshoe.
