Mac was born in Taber, Alberta on April 2, 1930. Over the years, he attended school in Taber, Tilley and Brooks, Alberta. He met the love of his life while attending Brooks High School. Mac married Patricia Poole on September 27, 1952. Over the years, Mac and Pat lived in Calgary, Grande Prairie and Red Deer. Most of their married life was spent living in Red Deer, Alberta. He always cherished the time he spent with his family at their Lake Newell Cottage, “Sum-R-Fun”. Mac spent the majority of his career managing the Red Deer Case Power and Equipment Branch. He was well known in the local farming community around Red Deer. Mac was predeceased by his first wife, Patricia and an only brother, Lorne.
