    Mack was amazing man. Always ready with a funny story or a joke to provide those around him a moment of levity. Rest on peace, old friend, with all the dreams and vitality of your youth.

    Mack always had a kind word to say. He was genuinely one of greatest classmates of PEA’s Class of 1978. Breathe, rest in peace and watch over those you loved. You will forever be in our thoughts. My deepest sympathy to your family.

    Mack was good at being a friend. He always treated me like one. He was a lot of fun to visit. I cherish the memories of standing in the saw cab shooting the bull while he sawed. He was a sure enough straight shooter. I’m going to miss him. Randy, Billie Jo, Debra and Jeanie you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    I am so sorry to hear this. I visited Mack the last time I was in town and we talked for 45 minutes. He will be greatly missed and I will miss the times I planned to chat with him more. There are no words really, but I send my sincere condolences to all of you.

    I was so sorry to hear that Mack had passed. I grew up with him, played with him, and protected him on the bus when kids would pick on him. I am older than him, but I always liked and adored the spunky, kid he was. Jeannie , I know you will miss him. (My Dad, Carroll Bruce, used to go to the sawmill everyday and sharpen saws at the saw mill. He’d swap jokes and was so fond of Mack. It gave my Dad a purpose in life.) Mack was a good man. He will be missed.
