Born January 9, 1931 in St. Joseph, Missouri, Mac was a 1948 graduate of Lafayette High School. Upon graduation he enlisted with the Marine Corps and served with the post-occupation forces in Japan. In 1951, he moved to Kansas City, where he began a 35-year career in defense-contracting sales. He retired as Vice President of Sales for Twin City Tool, a division of Litton Industries. He was a member of Leawood United Methodist Church, the Shawnee Masonic Lodge and the DGA golf association.
Mac, an avid sports enthusiast, enjoyed a 15-year career as coach and mentor to Raytown, Missouri area youth. After his children were grown, this passion extended to his grandchildren and golf. A proud Scotsman, Mac lived his dream after playing a round of golf at the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland.
Mac was preceded in death by sisters Mary Ann DeHart and Jackie Ballenger, brothers John and Russell and grandson Nathan Hunt.
The family would like to thank all the healthcare and hospice professionals who provided Mac such loving and compassionate care.
