Mack dedicated over 24 years of service to Duplin County Public Schools, where he would teach many students, Chemistry, Physics and Biology at East Duplin High School.

His talents will be surely be missed, but they continue to live through his children and grandchildren.

Avery special thank you to the staff of Sutton's Retirement Center in Goldsboro and Gentiva Home Health and Hospice.   You are all ANGELS on this earth, and we cannot thank you enough for your care for daddy.

In honor of daddy, when you hear "Last Date" think of him and smile!  Nobody will ever play it like Mack Raynor!
