Memorial Service
To the family,
I played golf with Mac for many many years here at the WPCC. He loved this old club and the members will Miss Mac so much. I have found his passing to be so very hard on myself due to being so close to Mac. He would pull through here several times a day just to say hello or stop and have a beer with me or others. We sat on the porch and would have a lot of discussions about important issues or just to shoot the bull.
I classed Mac as a closer than normal friend and I also classed him as a high class member of this club.
He often talked about early days at the club when he was just a kid and being a caddy for some of the members back in the 50’s.
All the bartenders out here thought Mr. Mac was the kindest person around.
May God give the family comforting grace as they go through this time of loss.
