Coincidence
Bob and Anne English Feb 13, 2010
Oddly, the phone rang and it was Debra who -out of the blue- said in a sad voice "I am really missing Mac today". I had to smile and told her the very web page I had been looking at when she called, we both were thinking Mac had somehow connected the cosmic dots.
As we slide into February

At TecAccess, we have a monthly employee recognition award. It is given to the employee that thinks outside the box, goes 'above and beyond', is most creative or most effective. The award is just a small token, a statue and a $100. But one of our employees came up with the idea to rename that award to "The Mac Award" since he so beautifully embodied those attributes we're trying to encourage and reward. I wish I had thought of that, it is absolutely perfect for our award. So this month, all employees are vying for their very own MAC. I know that the $100 will go fast but that tiny cheesy statue will be a real prize knowing who it stands for. As we bring on new employees that never had the chance to know Mac, I think they will get a sense as they see the award and the pride we all have in it.
All the best to Sue and the family.

Dungeons and Dragons: From a Dungeonmaster...
David Murotake Jan 11, 2010
Once, Mac played a cleric. He was, in fact, playing a Lawful Evil cleric, an alighment NONE of the other players knew - for had they known, they would NOT have been as happy to have him in their group. The mission? To rescue a stolen HOLY artifact which had been defending a kingdom from an ancient (and evil) enemy. The artifact had to be recovered by a good person... so it was natural to pick a LAWFUL cleric, right? If touched by anone except a GOOD person, the player would receive so much damage they would immediately be STRUCK DEAD.
Mac played the role to the hilt. He always used the approrpriate "lawful" cleric moves, always concealed the EVIL part of his alignment... until the very last episode. After undergoing many dungeon difficulties, the adventuring band finally slay an evil dragon guarding the artifact, and in their moment of triumph, urge Mac's cleric to pick up the Holy artifact so they could "scram". Ceremoniously, Mac's cleric pulls out a very, very thick set of gloves (gauntlets) before carefully picking up the artifact. At this point, several players make their "Wisdeom" rolls and begin to wonder, Why are you putting on those gloves???
A "player" to the end, Mac begins to spin the kinds of fast-talk excuses that would be the envy of any career sergeant! But to no avail! There were OTHER career sergeants in the player group. Placed under arrest by a Lawful Good Paladin, the group chose the Paladin to pick up the artifact for their return journey home...
Mac and I played in many an adventure... not just limited to D&D but other gaming systems as well. And always, he was an imaginative and lively player. He was always enjoyable company, cooked up a great barbecue, and played skillfully. Mac, your D&D friends will miss you!
Imagine if I knew him longer...

The lesson I take away from this is to cherish those who have had a positive impact in your life and never take anyone for granted. His "recommendations" will ever ring in my mind.
I pray that God's consuming love cover the family and his friends.
As long as we continue to allow his wisdom to effect our lives, he will live on.
Even though we didn't know each other that long, he will be missed!
