In addition to his love of his family, the outdoors, landscaping and horticulture in general, Mac enjoyed spending time camping and going on family vacations to Edisto Island, S.C., where he particularly enjoyed fossil hunting, fishing and canoeing. Well known for his sense of humor and his friendly nature, Mac also deeply enjoyed music ? in particular that of his favorite band, The Who ? and his collection of firearms.
