Dr. Mackie was a frequent speaker and motivating humorist. He was also a coach and mentor to countless people throughout his life. He was known to carry business cards with him that he shared with the words he lived his life by: “I am “Response-Able” for My Life and Livelihood. I do whatever it takes to get 110% from both.” Mission accomplished Dr. Mackie. Rest in peace knowing that YOU made a difference to all who knew you.
