I didn't know Mack, so I looked him up and found a wonderful video about
him and his work here: https://www.mackprichard.com/

Morning Tn-birders…
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Mack Prichard, longtime
TOS Life-member, Tennessee State Park Naturalist Emeritus and
Conservationist passed away last evening.
Below is a post from his niece Lisa Luck:
“Wanted to let you know Mack passed away last night peacefully in his
sleep. We are so heartbroken to lose Mack but are relieved that he is no
longer tethered to his broken body. We will all miss him deeply. He has
been a wonderful friend, mentor and an inspiration to all of us. We have
not planned a funeral due to COVID-19, but hope we can have a celebration
of his life later in the year. If you have any ideas about how to celebrate
-- let us know. Mom mentioned maybe we could have a gathering at a state
park in celebration and even scatter some of his ashes. Thank you for your
outpouring of support. I will forward a copy of his obituary to you once it
is written.” Lisa Luck
When additional details are available I’ll let you all know.
Please keep his family and friend in your thoughts…
Cheers!
