Keith and Liz Loft
We just wanted to send our condolences to the entire MacCormack family, on the passing of Mac, a true gentleman in every sense of the word. No matter what challenges life brought, Mac always had his contagious smile and positive attitude.
Going to miss honking the horn at Mac as he sat on his front porch. He always returned the gesture with a smile and a big arm wave.
I won’t forget our Habs – Leafs conversations (we solved most of their problems). I truly believe with a little more time I could have converted Mac into a true Montreal Canadiens fan……NOT!
We’ll miss you Mac
God Bless

Dear Marg and Don, Rob and Denise, Alma and Joe, Carol and Paul
and to all your children and grandchildren,
Your Dad, GMac was a gem of a man – kind, happy, patient, loving, gentle – who loved to laugh and tease too, and loved his Toronto Maple Leafs!:)
Mac meant so very much to the Cluett family. He was a ‘skating’ Dad to us and we loved him very much.
Such fond memories of wonderful times with him, over the years.
We will miss him dearly but are comforted knowing he will be with Mrs. Mac now.
Sending love and huge hugs to all of you.
Iain and I are not back from the Caribbean, until late Tuesday night, and we are SO very sad we can’t be at visitation or the funeral.
We will be there in spirit.
Love Sue and Iain Cluett Howieson
Sue Plewes
Please accept my deepest condolences with regard to the passing of Your father, grandfather, father in law etc….. Although I did not know him personally, I have heard many good words thoughts and sometimes the odd comical story , it was clear he lived his life to the fullest with a love for all sports, which thankfully was passed on down the family line. I don’t know if there is ever the right thing to say at times like this, I hope knowing your friends / co workers/ & aquaintenances are thinking of you at this difficult time for your family. God Bless….
Audrey (Adkins) Dakin

I think he met most of my family, and I met his family. He truly loved figure skating, hockey and baseball. He liked his Toronto Maple Leafs.Be at peace Mac.
