He was predeceased by his wife of 72 years, Beverly G. Wilson, on July 14, 2022, at the age of 93. Mac and Beverly lived in the LaVale, MD, area, moving there in 1954, where Mac started and ran Wilson Welding Supply Company. Both were involved in their church, First Presbyterian in Cumberland, MD, many community and civic organizations, and their special shared hobby of antique cars.
In 1963 Mac was one of the original founding members of the Cumberland, MD, Queen City Chapter of the Antique Car Club of America (AACA). Their involvement in that club, as well as chapters of Horseless Car Club of America, Vintage Motor Car Club of America and National Woodie Club continued well into their eighties with driving and touring.
In 1982 Mac and Beverly became snowbirds and moved to their home in Sun City Center on Middle Lake, enjoying many activities and community involvement. A special thanks to the staff and friends at Aston Gardens Independent Living Facility, in Sun City Center, who made Mac's two years as a resident very enjoyable; to the staff at Cypress Creek Assisted Living Facility, also in Sun City Center, where Beverly was well taken care of in her final years; and to the purple team of Lifepath Hospice in Mac and Beverly's final weeks.
They are survived by their four children, Butch (Anne) of Houston, TX, Nancy (Tony) of Sarasota, FL, Kathy (Gary) of Old Saybrook, CT, and Mary (Glenn) of Short Gap, WV; grandchildren and spouses; great-grandchildren; nephews and spouses; and special friends. A memorial was held for Beverly at Sun City Christian Center, and a memorial will be held there for Mac at a later date this summer. Burial will be at their West Virginia home.
