    After retirement Mace and Pat moved to Chigger Hill where he lived the remainder of his life. Mace had many hobbies during his lifetime that created so many memories for himself, Pat and his family. Mace owned many classic cars throughout his life and with those he and Pat enjoyed years of car shows together. He was an avid collector of stamps, coins and arrowheads. His very impressive arrowhead collection is museum quality and he was very proud of it. His favorite T.V. shows were classic movies especially Big Foot and UFO documentaries. Some of his most special times were spent riding his Harley. Mace and Pat traveled to many destinations over the years including many trips to Sturgis, South Dakota, 4 Corners, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and all areas in between. These trips filled his life with great memories and lifelong friends. He hosted many parties at Chigger Hill like Time Change, Party till you Puke and Fourth of July. All of those who attended left with many lifetime memories. Mace was always up for a good game of Texas Hold’em with his favorite hand King deuce but while relaxing at home he would enjoy scratching his weekly lottery tickets.
