Martin was a lovely man to have known and a gifted poet and song writer. One of his lovely poems was “Lovely Keel” I would love if enough space is left to quote the fifth verse of this poem as follows. So goodbye, farewell to you for at least a few more years, You are forever in my mind, sure there’s many silent tears, Each night I ask the Lord above as by my bed I kneel, To guide my footsteps back to you my lovely village, Keel.
In Remberance Of My B.I.L. Martin Mack

Our deepest sympathies to Patsy, Martin and Geraldine on their sad loss of Martin, our lovely neighbour and friend. As kind and gentle a friend as you could wish for. In the far off days long before the internet and even television, Martin would regale us with stories of his beloved Celtic with tales of Jimmy McGrory and Charlie Tully, and ‘Paradise’ as if we were actually there. In later years Martin’s gift for storytelling developed into his prowess for poetry and songwriting with the many fine works he has left for us to enjoy. Take your rest in heaven, Martin, your life’s work is well done. You will live long in our memories when we hear and enjoy ‘The Banks of Pollagh Shore’ among your many other fine works.
