He was a dear friend, like a brother, and though I did not ever see him again after we graduated, I never forgot his kindnesses and his cheerfulness. He cheered the hearts of everyone around him - and I can think of no greater tribute to anyone than that they had made the way a little easier for their friends.

I worked with Mac for years at GCPD and learned a lot about police work from him. He was always good to me and never made me feel stupid when I made a mistake. I will always remember and cherish his "war stories." My husband and I send our condolences to the family.

When I joined the Gwinnett County Police Dept., Mac was one of my sargeants and academy instructors. He always looked out for all of us. He could 'smell' trouble a mile off. We were all a lot safer out there when Mac was 'on-duty.' He was a fine man with a fine spirit. I am proud to have worked with him. He will be sorely missed. Sympathy to all the family. May Mac rest in Peace. Judge Warren Davis, Gwinnett Superior Court.

Frank was like a brother to me as we grew up on Dorothy St. in the 1960's. I have many memories of our teenage years and the fun we had. Frank was always ready with a joke or some other crazy thing to do. I was so proud of the good man he became and the service he contributed as a law officer. A good loving friend and buddy has gone to his reward and I am glad that God blessed me to know him. Love, Paul Pollard

Years ago, when I told her how much I thought of her son, Lillie Mae McKelvey said "As he was growing up, I prayed every day that his hands would do no harm". Mrs. McKelvey, your prayers were answered. You raised a wonderful son. Frank was one of the most interesting and entertaining men I have ever known. During our "barber visits" he was always ready with a story of the past. He and I could talk for hours, and often did! I pray that God will put his arm of comfort around Martha, Torrie, Kellie, and the whole family during this time. I love you all.

I worked with "Captain Mac" for 11 years at GCPD. He always told me that we were distant cousins on his mother's side, the Crowe's and I just took him at his word and we would laugh about it. He told me I walked like my Grandaddy "Boo" Wages. We always seemed to find something to laugh about. He called liquor "loud mouth" and would say about anyone who was drunk, "They got in that loud mouth, didn't they?!" I left to go into the ministry and he came to hear me preach one night at Hebron Baptist when I was home from seminary. He came up and hugged me around the neck after I finished preaching and told me that he was proud of me. I was so glad to see him. Great memories.
