  1. I was very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I was his Ash Drive neighbor since 1971. He was a nice man and very entertaining! I would often hear him play his .pipes. and would see him out and about taking his daily walk. My daughers walked .Rumple. after school after your mom died. His presence will be missed.

  2. We were so sorry to have missed Mac’s memorial service. We lived next door to him on Oak Dr. for 5 years. He was a great neighbor and friend. We enjoyed his company and the nightly concerts from his pipes. He was a dear man and we were honored to know him.
