Mr. Jones was a kind man, our businesses were neighbors for most of my life. Always enjoyed talking with him.
I, along with a few others, worked for Mack all through high school at his Esso station. If truth be known we probably tore up more than we ever fixed. That didn’t keep him from writing a wonderful recommendation letter when I applied for work at Carolina Power and Light.
After graduation our paths went different ways but I have always considered Mack and Shirley as my friends. Rest in peace ole friend.
Mrs.Jones and Suzanne: I will be praying for the peace and comfort that only God can give you. Mr. Jones was a great man and I know you will miss him but you will see him again one day.
I am proud to say that Mack and Shirley are my friends and will miss Mack terribly. He did a lot for me…R.I.P., my friend
Mrs. Shirley, and Sweet Suzanne,
Sending you deepest condolences . Praying for God to comfort you as only he can do. Just think Mr. Mack and Mark are reunited together again in Heaven. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with each of you.
I thought the world of Mack. What a gentleman, very much like his brother Don. Just realized that that his sister Helen was my old friend’s Jonah’s wife! What a wonderful family that is and was. I had so many wonderful friends that worked at the old Sayles Biltmore Bleacheries. We shall have a great reunion in Heaven with old friends soon. In the meantime God be with you all. Wonderful great family.
