I worked shoulder to shoulder with Mac during his Stratford Motor Products days, and always enjoyed the way he interacted with customers and coworkers. I can still see him crammed into the little green car, arriving for work. I was lucky enough to run into him this past Friday the 13th in Port Dover and we got caught up in old times. Please know that he was well liked and respected and we'll all miss that big laugh and grin. Our sympathy to you and your family. Patti and Gerry Cox
