Mr. Mack had the sweetest, funniest original dad joke kind of way before that was even a thing. He was an incredible husband and daddy. He always made me feel like Amy´s teen sister when we visited instead of company who might have been in the way and it was always a joy to be in their loving home. You will be so missed but we rejoice knowing you´re worshiping at the Father´s feet forever now and we´ll see you soon. May God hold all your family close and comfort them and may memories of more joyful times bring you comfort. Love, Elsa and Ron and family
