My Sincere Condolences To The Family:
Mac, I always had a special place in my heart for you. I remember the fun times at our house in Downey Ca, when you and Walter would BBQ, & work in the yard, he loved talking to you, sharing stories, relaxing & having a beer together. You were his buddy. We treasured many memories with you.
God Bless You Always
As You Have Your Coronation To Heaven.
Love Irene P

Back in the early day of the air Force Mac drove me to the Hospital when I was in labor. I think he was more scare than me, as he was yelling at everyone to move over. The love we have for Mac could never be cover in words. Little O (as we call you) and Valerie We are sending our prayer to you and your Family & Friends. God bless you all. LaDonna & Mike
