Junior Varsity Location: lincoln ne. usa Registered: January 28, 2003 Posts: 634 | Thanks for posting this Aaron! I passed on your condolences to Lois yesterday and she was grateful for it. Lois is doing well and her 1st words to me yesterday was "its kind of a relief" For those of you who are not aware Mac was striken with Alshiemers 2 years ago and it progressed very quickly and as Lois said it is kind of a relief. Mac is my wifes Uncle and I had the distinct pleasure to get to know him over the past 30 years, while I knew he was well respected and loved in many areas of his life I had no idea on just how much until I started reading posts on the funeral homes site. He was always there for his family in any endeavor including coming to watch our son at numerous matches, he never lost his love for the sport of wrestling! He will be greatly missed. WE LOVE YOU MAC! The service and visitation information is below. A memorial service will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 at the First Congregational Church, UCC (1550 N.
