Uncle Mack, You meant the world to me and as I look back on all the memories I shared with you, I can't help but realize that every memory has been a great one. You made me laugh and smile so much that it will continue to live with me. Skating around in Audubon Park and riding around in the Cadillac I cherished every moment with you.
