Mac died suddenly Jan. 30, 2013, his 90th birthday.

He was president of his class at Princeton High School. He left Princeton in 1942, transferring to the U.S. Naval Academy, from which he graduated in 1945. His naval career was primarily in submarines. He was recalled for duty during the Korean conflict.

Mac married Alma Lewis in 1946. She died in 1983, and he married Suzanne Myers in 1988.

After his naval service, he worked for Lever Brothers Co. for 35 years, including 12 in Indiana, where he participated in community affairs. After returning to New Jersey in 1969, he was active in the Reformed Church in America — locally as an elder, regionally as president of the Delaware-Raritan Classis. He retired in 1985 from Lever House in New York as director of manufacturing services.

Moving to Hilton Head in 1996, Mac served as a director in the Presbyterian Men of the Church, and chaired an annual college ethics symposium. He served for 10 years as treasurer of the local Navy League.

Mac chaired ’44’s reunions from 1989 to 1999, and also served as class secretary, vice president, and then president in 2004.

He is survived by Sue; three children from his first marriage; four stepchildren; 13 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. He was a beloved 1944 man.
