He was born on March 6th 1939, in Davidson Co Tn (Nashville), on Highway 100 near Pasquo. He attended Bellevue HS and married Peggy Wilkerson McNeil over 61 years ago. He worked for Buick Motor Co. for over 50 years. Mack loved to farm, garden, work outdoors and work on cars. He was the strongest, kindest, cleverest, most forgiving man his family has ever known.
