As a child Mack was raised on a farm and later moved to Richmond Virginia, where he owned and operated several service stations. Later he returned and remained in Florence with his family. At the time of his retirement he was self employed as a food distributor. He was a devoted Christian and member of The Church of God of Prophecy for more than 50 years. He has served his church in many capacities over the years but will be remembered for holding the door open every Sunday with a hand shake and a "Thank you for coming today" until the last member left.

Mack loved the outdoors and we all have memories of seeing him in his swing under the trees enjoying a beautiful day. He had a passion for fishing and spent many days at Santee and local ponds. He loved being with his family and having the opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We all are going to miss you "Daddy", "Pops", "Granddaddy", "Mack"
