He was one of eight children and spent his early years working on the farm with all of his siblings. As a young adult, he and two of his brothers, Bill and Bob, followed their oldest brother Ken to the island of Guam. There he set up camp and helped start a successful business.

Though a very successful business man, Mack was a family man first. He celebrated his early retirement by taking the entire family on a trip around the world.

He loved family poker, coconut cake, Gunsmoke and participating in monthly family zooms which brought him great joy seeing his great granddaughter Reagan. He enjoyed the game of golf playing religiously every Wednesday and Sunday during his prime.
