So sorry to hear of the passing of your father, and one of the true "Go to guys" on this forum. I never met him in person, just was one who benefitted from his wealth of knowledge over the years. He will truly be missed by many. Prayers for you and your family during this time of loss. Jim

Been busy the last couple days, logged on tonight to see this . First ,I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Sending prayers of comfort to you , your family and friends. What a tribute, reading all these posts from fellow forum members. I could not say anything better about this man . I never met or ever talked with him but like others on here we all seem like some convoluted family. He will be missed. Rest in peace Mack ,thanks for all your help

Hot link... Doug G. , the 'pliers clinking in his overall pocket' Reminded me of the days way back when when my father walked with his pliers and screwdriver in his plier pocket. Men like that were ready to fix almost anything on the spot.

We are all honored by having him with us here as we did, and while he's passed on, his presence here is a gift to all who search for answers. Thank you, Mack!!!

Very sorry to learn about his passing. He helped me. Over 7600 posts on this forum says it all. His answers were short, sweet and usually correct. He will be greatly missed by this forum.

I haven't been on in a long time so I'm just reading this for the first time.
I'm sorry isn't enough - Mack was a Legend, and I mean that with the utmost respect. This forum was a better place because of him. His knowledge was priceless - he will be missed.
