Amos Mack Sr., (Dad, Pop, Pop), started his journey on Sunday, June 6, 1915, in St. George, South Carolina.  He was the eldest child of Josephine Breaker and Jim Mack.  Much of his earthly life was spent working various jobs on the farm in the South Carolina low country with uncle and grandfather.  He accepted Christ at an early age, and was a member of Good Hope Baptist Church in St. George, SC.  He sang with the Quartet of Gentleman who traveled from church to church every sunday singing God's praises.

Even though he was South Carolina born and bred, Philadelphia would become a special plce to him and the place where he would now put down roots. It was in Philly that he met and married the love of his life, UZ Mattie Mack, whom he affectionately called "C".  From this union, three children were born, Clorise, Amos Jr., and Michelle.

Pop had an infectious personality and those who knew him truly loved him.  He experienced so much in his 102 years of life and we all became beneficiaries of his wisdom and knowledge through his stories and life lessons.

He leaves to cherish his wonderful memory, daughters; Clorise Wynn and Michelle Green; son-in-law, John Green; daughter-in-law, Robin Mack, Gloria Price; goddaughter, Bishop Stephanie B.
