We are so sorry to hear about the death of Mac. We have good memories of him through the years, one of which was when he used to pick up Joe & take him to work @ Eastman. At that time Joe & I had just started housekeeping & lived on Pineola Avenue. I was working @ the hospital & we only had one car to get to work. Sometimes with shift work one of us had no transportation until Mac agreed to pick up Joe. To some that may not seem important but it meant a lot to a young couple getting started. Even though we have not kept in touch in recent years, we are thankful for the memories of working together & for the friendship of both of you. You are in our thoughts & prayers.

As long as there has been a Joe, there was a Mac in my life. I've been missing him and will continue to do so until I join him. He was a fully devoted family man and faithful to his church. Lou, all of you are in mine and Sherry's prayers, God speed.
