Prayers sent for family. Mack was a great friend and a great supporter of our club.

He will be missed.

Many have touched on how much Big Mack loved crappie fishing and CAT. There is 100% truth in that.

I was priveleged when called and asked if I would make the post. There are many more deserving of that honor. I was a big fan of Big hearted Mack. I regret I didn't spend more time with him. We all have someone or perhaps many others we should take more time with NOW so don't delay.

Please keep the messages coming. I know how dear it would be for Ruth to hear our messages. Either before the Viewing this evening or the funeral, I will print for Paul to present to her, less this post.

So keep them coming - it never gets stale.

Thank you - Jimmy

He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed for sure. Prayers go to the fmaily in this difficult time.

This is my 4th year to get to hang out with you guys from CAT & for 3 of those years I got to watch Big Mack live, laugh, make wise cracks, laugh some more, take pictures, help people, be of service, fish, & (he loved to fish), most of all I got to watch him LOVE............ "For the greatest of these is LOVE" Big Mack will be missed~~

Mack was a really nice guy. He will be missed.

My heart felt prayers go out to Mack and his family.

Sad to hear. Didn't know the man, but from what I have read, I was unlucky not to know him.may his family find peace.

Sad deal all the way around... Prayers for Mack and his family.

I remember splitting a room with Mack at the Cedar Creek tournament one year. Couldn't sleep a wink with the anticipation of what was ahead and wanting to get to my spot first ...I tiptoed in the dark & out the door at 4 in the morning. Heard a voice from Mack ..."Good luck today Anh".

Mack was competitive, love to fish and many other things but most importantly, he was a genuine gentleman. It is sad to hear of his passing and he will be missed.

Safely Home

I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.

Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
