This is a sad loss to the Kelly family. Mac was a great neighbor, friend, adopted Grandfather to our kids, and so much more. He was always willing to go out of his way for us, and he and Phyllis had an open door and wonderful hospitality for us, friends and family, no matter where they lived. We are blessed to have had Mac in our lives. Rest in peace. Our love and deepest sympathy to Phyllis and the McCabe family. Love, David, Debra, Connor, and Shannon Kelly.
