    Just recently learned of this sad news. Dr Mac as I called him became my dentist n the early 80's & later my families as well. I always enjoyed my visits as I knew a Corny joke was awaiting me & he never disappointed. RIP Dr Mac until we meet again.

    Ken and I were classmates and lab mates in dental school. Every student in the class of 1981 benefited from his experience, expertise, maturity, and sense of humor......Kenny would often say " pay attention, I am only going to show you how to do this once... of course he did not mean this. Always accessable, helpful and direct, if you could understand him, you could learn from him. I just recently told my lab guy one of Ken's finishing tips. Sad to hear of his passing, he was a leader to us! Miss you Ken, Robert Marcus DDS class of 1981
