Mac Forbes

[6863]

Not until I received and read the Association Spring 2024 Newsletter today did I realize that we have lost Mac Forbes. I'm probably the last to learn of Mac's departure from us, but I simply have a need to publicly ackowledge it. Mac and I had several occasions to communicate through PMs and other means. Reading and reflecting on what Mac had to say in those communications always left me inspired. Many thanks Mac for your wit, wisdom and humanity for which I had a high regard. Rest in peace.

Like John, I too was very surprised to learn of Mac Forbes passing when I read about it in the current newsletter. Mac was always there for anyone who had questions about Cessna 120-140 aircraft be it locating hard to find parts or finding individuals with the knowledge of how to make repairs, Mac was always ready and willing to help. We're going to miss seeing and talking to Mac especially at fly-ins like Sun N Fun. Fair Winds and Blue Sky Our Old Friend!

Same here. I always appreciated his comments which never failed to be positive, encouraging, and helpful. He will be greatly missed. It's surprising that this sad news is just now making it to the forum.

Sorry we have lost a great member , our thoughts and prayers are with Donna and family. Cindy and I met them briefly at several conventions and as many of our members we've met at conventions, we immediately would think of them as extended family. This assoc. brings us together because of the aircraft, and as we meet and great theirs so much more in common ,and just wonderful friends. It's disappointing for me that we are all so far apart including all are over seas members, or we could visit regularly. Our founding fathers have built a wonderful group of friends thanks to the 120 & 140's and we will miss you Mac along with all your wisdom and love for the assoc., and the little Cessna's

A true loss to the association. Mac and Donna have always been very active and instrumental in the association’s growth from the beginning. He will be sorely missed!
