I talked with Maurice last week & he told me what happened to Mac.
Mac was 75. He had a blood pressure condition & he had Alzheimer's. One of his neighbors called Maurice because Mac's porch light had been on for a few days but the band's van was in his driveway. They found him dead.
What they think happened is that he simply forgot to take his blood pressure medication for a few days & had a heart attack.
It's a very pitiful ending for Mac. he was a good friend & a good teacher even when he wasn't trying to be. That's the hazard of growing old alone though. But Mac - well I imagine he just never wanted to be with anyone else after his wife passed.
Damn shame all the way around.
