As someone who once frequented here, and recently rejoined, it is hard reading this. I had wondered how many of the "old guys" were still around and Mack was one I wondered about. The knowledge that has been shared here over the years is absolutely priceless, I can't thank Mack or any of the other guys enough for all the help and advice I received when I tore my WD45 down all those years ago. All I can do is hope they understood how much I appreciated it then. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

So sorry to hear about this. Mack was always a good source of information. He would post often where there was something of value he could add, and I know that he helped many with problems they were having. Though I never had direct contact with him, I learned a lot just reading what he had to say. I always enjoyed reading his posts. He will be missed around here!! and that is an understatement. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. |

Oooof-dah, that's tough news to take. I visited with Mack on the phone on several occasions. Glad that he was generous enough to give me his phone number. He advised me well on more than one occasion. I guess that as I have done with others, his contact will stay in my phone forever, so when I am scrolling through my contacts, I'll be reminded of him. I wish that I could have met him in person. Prayers to his entire family. Darrel |
