Mr. Mac influence my wife and I greatly on so many levels. He gave me my start in Administration. He wore many hats to get things done as all small school leaders must do. He insisted on firm but fair discipline and caused teachers to feel safe and respected. His genuine love for the personal sacrifices of school board members to serve their schools was special. What you saw is what you got. He and family were all in in their faith in God and in serving others. A great one has fallen. He now rests.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I have some great memories of Coach. He was my coach for baseball and football. He took our Marion Pony League baseball team to St.Louis Cardinal games one weekend, it was my first time to see a Cardinal game in person. It was always good to see him, he’s such a kind person. Praying for his family for strength,comfort, and peace from our Heavenly Father.

Mrs. Carolyn, Beth and Mark I am so sorry for your loss. He was a nice man from the time I was a little girl at church til the last time I saw him. He would stop by Rivercrest at least once a year and I would always get to visit with him. He would always ask about my Dad. Good, hard working men that never forget family and friends. Remembering you all in our prayers today and the days to come. ðŸ™
