I am so sorry for Barbara and the boys! Mac was a kind, good hearted man,who did much for the CK community. His love for the kids was witnessed when he and Barbara would do Santa at the Cypress Station at Christmas! He will long be remembered as a big cut up and jokester, with a big smile after telling a joke! Big hugs and prayers to ll the family and many friends!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am so sad for Barbara, Walt, Doug and all who knew Mac. He was wonderful, kind hearted and generous. He was a never ending jokester and prankster. He intensely loved his family and also his friends. He never met a stranger. He and my late husband, Alan, are surely catching up, telling jokes and probably a few lies. You will be missed, Mac. I love you, Barbara.
