Mr. Mack and his late brother, Eli Jr., owned Mack&#x27;s Cash and Carry in Lexington for 40 years. Mr. Mack felt like he was the richest man born because of his love for God, family and friends.

A true son of God he loved his late wife, Annie Laurie, children and grandchildren more than life itself.
