MACK -- CHARLIE "I wake up each morning determined to change the world and also to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes that makes planning the day a little difficult." EB White Charlie (Rick) "the tool man" Mack, a founder of the Lucky Bastard Club and the Secret Society of San Juan Jig Fisherman, graduated to his next marvelous adventure on June 10, 2006. Rick was a devoted Father, Husband, Grandfather, and good friend. He leaves his good memories with his three daughters, Shannon, Lindsay, and Kateri, his sons in-law, Jerry and Michael, his seven grandchildren; his wife, Julie; his brother, Ken; sister, Judy; and mother, Mina. We will all remember him as a driven athlete with a bounce in his walk, a consummate car guy, a Buddy Holly fan, a compendium of totally fictitious facts, the only man on the planet without a cell phone, an ability to make every rock and roll song sound the same and a man with a clear and determined focus. He never missed a breakfast date and until the very last worked to bring people together and to agreement. A Memorial Service will be held on June 20, 2006, 6:30 p.m., Ceremonial Garden, Albuquerque Botanic Gardens, 2601 Central NW, Albuquerque.
