To the Sue family, I'm truly sorry for your loss and shed tears knowing what you all are going through. I may have never met Mr. Sue, but I've have had the pleasure....no, the HONOR of working side by side with his son, John Jr, and I am truly greatful for that. I know very Mr. Sue was a great man just by knowing his offspring on a professional and personal level. My heart goes out to your family. Michael Marzigliano.

Oh Uncle Mac, how you will be missed! Thank you for teaching me to play the piano and bringing the joy of learning music into my life. We had an unforgettable time in Italy singing for the Pope - a trip that took place all because of you.... Sending lots of love and strength to Barb and the rest of the family.

Ahhhh Mac! No one I have met was able to do what you do on the piano and the organ. Its been a true honor to meet you, get to know you, and have the chance to work with you. Although things have carried me away from Bradford, even when I wasn't singing, I always looked forward to getting to the church when I could. Lee's sermons spoke to me, but it was the music that truly touched.

Although I have not lived at home in Allegany since leaving the area in the mid 1960's, I fondly remember Mac from growing up on my grandparents farm (Charles and Bessie Boser) during my childhood. I remember Mac as a person with a tremendous gift as a musician and a warm individual. Mac was a few years older than me, but he always took the time to say "hi" and chat. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and many friends. Sincerely, Sandi Boser Duckworth Wyoming, NY

Mac Sue was a big part of my life. His beautiful music walked me down the aisle. He was the one and only man that ever sang to me, after years of begging. We stayed up late at nite laughing and yes a few glasses of Dewars. He will always be in my heart. I was a very lucky girl to have him in my life. He is now playing for The Lord. I will miss you.

Dear Barb and family, Please know that Deb and I, as well as Erik and Tom and their families, send the most deeply heartfelt sympathy and condolences. What an honor and privilege it was to play music with Mac for so many years. He had such gifts! The popular music jumped to life in his readings of the songs, and I've never known another organist whose registrations made whole buildings, the physical buildings themselves, seem to sing. All of that was the clearest sign of what kind of soul he had. He was a glorious player and a beloved friend. Our hearts are aching with yours, and we'll cherish our memories of Mac so deeply. Rick and Deb, Tom and Erik and families

so sorry to hear of Mac's passing. My dad was the choir director in Cuba ( Baptist) when Mac played there and the two of them enjoyed a nice musical friendship. I so enjoyed hearing him play at Moonwinks. He can play for the angels now .....

I remember Mac from Passion Play Choir. I am the one who does the registration. I enjoyed his organ accompaniment as he put his soul into his organ playing. He did not just play the organ - he made the organ "sing"along with us. He will be missed. God must have needed his beautiful music and took him. My prayers are with you.

Dear Barb and Family... There are many, many people who share your grief. I would also like to thank you and your family for sharing Mac and his talents so that he could bring joy to so many people. Without the support of family, it could not have happened. Mac was such a wonderful person, and his musical abilities will never be matched. Our area was so fortunate to have a musician of his caliber, and I was fortunate to have him as a friend. Love, Kim Childs

Seeing this picture of him with the foot prints in the sand reminds us of him coming to Oceanside California for the first time and going to the Ocean. Walked out in it, turned around with the BIGGEST smile as we noticed he still had his glasses on when all of a sudden he was hit from behind from a wave that was way taller then him. Next we noticed his glasses were missing. He never found them. The bad thing about this was, he had a audition later in the day, but that never kept him out of the ocean ever again. We would spend hours hanging out in it with him. There are so many wonderful memories we have of him, and feel so bless to have known him with his family and love for music. Love Flip & Joyce Oakes

Mac will be deeply missed. I was very honored and humbled to offer my music today...I hope you heard a little piece of him come through me. Our sympathies and prayers go out to you. Thankfully we all live in the hope of the resurrection and the company of saints got a great musician this week! Love always...Ray & Ruth

To "Mac's" family; Unfortunately, I can't say I knew Mac well. I was playing in various bands in the Bradford-Olean area in the mid 60's and ran across Mac several times. I remember visiting the Ho Sta Geh just to see him play - he was a wonder on the organ! He will be missed. Jeff Johnson

Barb and Family - Mac was an inspiration to me both as an overall musician and person. He hired me to play the oboe d'amore part (on English horn) at St. Stephen's for Bach Cantata #1 at Christmastime in the early 70's; I refer to that as my first professional gig! Now, I sit in awe at the console he so masterfully piloted for many years (it's scarier than playing for the opera!). May Mac rest in God's peace; may Barb and the entire Sue clan be comforted by God's grace.

I remember with incredible fondness and joy my time at St. Stephens Episcopal Church and being in the chior with Mac in the lead. He was amazing on the organ and filled the Church with incredible joy. I only just realized that Mac had passed however I know that he is playing the organ of all Organs with the Angels in Heaven singing...Joy to the World. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sue family and every person who's life was touched my Macs amazing ability and the joy he spread with his hands on the keys. You will always be missed and thought of when I hear the Great Thanksgiving. With Much Love. An alto, and the occasional tenor, Andria.
