Not sure what to say?





So sorry to learn of Mackie's passing. Mackie and Tony, my husband, attended Pharmacy School together. I was also a student when he was our great quarterback. After Tony passed away, I appreciated the telephone calls from Mackie. I was out of town when Mackie passed away, and this notice was the first time I was aware of his passing. He will be missed by all.

So sorry to hear that Mackie had passed. I was out of town. Mackie and my husband, Tony, graduated from USC College of Pharmacy.. I appreciated his calls so much after Tony's passing. These boys were a special group.

Mackie will be greatly missed. He and Jackie became part of our family beginning with my grandfather. I have a picture of them with my parents in my living room. Remembering Mackie's smile and laugh warms my heart. His family was his pride and love. My love and condolences to his beautiful family.

Dear Keever, Dalton, & Philip,
Hearing of Mr. Mackie brought back so many memories, mainly from the Elloree Pharmacy. He was hilarious, as you know, and played the practical jokes that the rest of us would never actually carry out. He was also incredibly kind to me and our family.
Thank you for sharing him.
