To know him you had to understand his love language, John Mac (Buddy) was not a Hugger, he didn’t say I love you and he didn’t show a lot of emotions even when talking to him on the phone he would just give you a ummm and just hand up… But John Mac love working, he loved going to the beach he love his muddy water music, he love to watch people, (have you ever been caught in a John Mac stare down he would look at people so long  that sometimes it would make people feel uncomfortable, but that was him). He love coffee, He loved Coffee,  did I say that he LOVED COFFEE. John Mac would show his love and care for other just by simple showing it.
