August 5, 2021 at 8:13 amI can not fully articulate the impact Bro. Mac has had on my life. A wonderful man with many layers. He was a kind and thoughtful man with a low-key funny side which would catch you off guard at times. We shared conversations about life over the many events that we served together. A truly gifted individual who spoke through his food. My brother, may you bring comfort to those you meet up there.

August 8, 2021 at 7:26 amI think of you everyday. You were such a kind, gentle, and loving soul. Most of all you were a cherished friend. You made a difference in the lives of all that knew you. We will meet again. Rest in peace, William.

August 9, 2021 at 10:06 amI worked with William at Harris Teeter for six years, and even though we clashed at times, he was family. I always appreciated when he would bake up his batches of cookies but then leave a container for us co-workers in the break room. We felt the love for sure. And his handwriting was impeccable: we still have notes tacked up on the bulletin board at work with product info and SKU numbers where we can see them every day. Since his passing, we have felt his absence greatly: he will be missed.
