My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to to the McNerney family for the loss of Mac. I just learned of his loss and I want to convey how much he mean to me as a young teenager growing up with Kevin. Mac was a loving father and a generous and caring man. I looked up to him and appreciated his quick wit and sense of humor.
You will be greatly missed "Mr. McNerney"! God bless you!!

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun rise warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand. Bless you Mac, and the McNerney family. We raise our glass of rum and coke to you tonight. With so much love,
