M. Robert Mack, D.D.S.
August 12, 1943 - November 2, 2015

"One of my favorite memories is back in the '70's when Charlie Ronald's challenged Bob to a mile race. It became quite the event at the Player's club amongst the squash players. Bob trained real hard while Charlie was his usual boisterous self. So one afternoon we all met at the local high school track took sides and made our bets. Needless to say, Bob trounced Charlie and I took $20 from Greg Halder. The point is, the comradery we shared at that time is priceless and it still seems like it was just yesterday. "

"I used to play squash and backgammon at the Players Club in the early 70's and dated Bob during that time. He was a dynamic handsome man and very fun for squash and dates. I'm sorry to hear he's not still walking the planet. My condolences on the great loss the family must be going through. Wishing the Mack family an easy transition as they suffer their great loss. "

"He was a wonderful man , a great artist in his work we will all miss him . Rest in peace."

"BOB WAS A FIRST CLASS HUMAN BEING, A GREAT FRIEND OF THE EARLY 70'S FROM THE PLAYERS CLUB. I REMEMBER AS A STUDENT, I USED TO ADMIRE BOB MACK THE BODY BUILDER. WE USED SIT AND CHAT IN THE GYM ALMOST 4 TIMES A WEEK. I STILL REMEMBER HIM CHALLENGING ME AT SQUASH THAT HE WOULD GET PAST THE 3 POINTS IN ANYONE GAME. BOB I MISS YOU AND HOPE YOU ARE RESTING IN PEACE AT THE CHOICEST PLACE IN HEAVEN. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. "

"Please accept my deepest sympathies. May you draw comfort from the hope of being reunited with your precious loved one found at Acts 24:15 which says, "There is going to be a resurrection." Until this future promise is fulfilled may reflecting on it provide you with a measure of comfort and peace during this very difficult time. "

"Bob was our friend and dentist for over 35 years. He will be dearly missed, a talent lost, a friend remembered. Happy he found his lovely wife Cindi to complete his very full life. He was so proud of Aly. I remember him telling me when she was young he loved riding up in his Ferrari and picking her up from school. His family gave him so much happiness. The office a comfortable second home with lots of respect and adoration.. Our hearts are heavy, we will miss our dear friend. Barbara and Fred Reitman"

"IF TEARS COULD BUILD A RACETRACK AND MEMORIES A LANE I WOULD RACE RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN AND BRING YOU HOME AGAIN! Dr. Mack (and all the girls!) made my smile to best ever for over 20 years!!! I'll miss the best dentist in the world and my best car buddy ever! I know he's racing around in heaven in a Ferrari! "

"Cindy- I cannot begin to express how sorry I am for you and Aly with having lost Bob. You and Bob had a very special love between you. No one can take away your beautiful memories. I do pray that The Lord help you and Aly to,be able to find peace. You will one day be reunited with Bob in a much better place for eternity. Sending lots of prayers your way for days ahead. You and Aly are two very special ladies who I know Bob loved very much. So, so sorry. Larry and Pat"

"When the enemy death strikes your grief can be great. It's never the right time to say goodbye to a loved one. Death too to many seems to be a part of life. It's during times such as these that we can find comfort in the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9, 10 ~ "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth". Only God's (Psalms 83:18) Kingdom can bring peace, happiness, perfect health, and everlasting life. "

"He made you very happy, Cindy. I know you would cherish those memories forever."

"Thanks for all the years."

"It is with sadness that my mother and I write this message. Patients of Dr. Mack's since 1987, we can only echo what so many have written about him. He was pure class, an upmost professional, and a great soul. Dr. Mack performed skillful and beautiful work on my mother's mouth. However, I will never forget what he once said to me when I was checking in during my college years. He said, "You are my biggest nightmare of a client. There is nothing I need to do for your teeth." He always made us laugh! May God Bless his soul and our deepest sympathies to his family. "

"I met you when we were both young and thought the world was our Oyster. We never lost touch and could always have a honest conversation, especially about our mutual friend, Jim Scott. I will see you in the near future in our next life, as I'm sure I will need some of your wonderful Reconstruction on this time worn set of teeth. Rest well my friend til then. "

"Sending you my deepest sympathy to Cindy and family. Keeping you all in prayers"

"Dr. Mack was the best boss ever! He was the most polite, gentleman and professional dentist. I work for him for 8 years and I never had a bad moment. I miss him saying: "that crown was beautiful". We will miss him so much and he will be in my heart forever. Thank you Cindy for all your love and care whit him. And my co- workers too! My sincere condolences to Cindy, Aly, Terry, and family."

"I was a patient of Dr. Mack's for about 28 years and like many others, he gave me a smile that I was proud to show. In my younger years, I was constantly calling his office with another story of how I broke a veneer. Once I was playing softball at a company picnic and got hit in the mouth by the ball and my front tooth didn't survive the contact! For years after that, Dr. Mack would kid me about my short lived softball career! He was one of a kind and I will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family, friends and staff."

"I am forever grateful for the opportunity Dr.Mack gave me one year ago to join his team. Although I was new to the practice Dr.Mack treated me like family and was always so supportive. He taught me to always strive for excellence and would accept nothing less. Dr.Mack truly loved what he did and was extremely patient teaching me all about dentistry, he even drew me little tooth pictures to make sure I understood. I will always remember his great sense of humor and wonderful smile. I will miss him so much but he will be forever in my heart. "

"Bob and his family are in my prayers. I can't remember a time when Bob wasn't in my life. From before I was born, Bob was always a part of our family's Christmas Eve dinner--creating memories that I will never forget. Like the time the salad was so fresh that it contained a live cricket that jumped out Bob's bowl. He playfully teased my mom about that every year thereafter. Or when he and my dad built the kid's outdoor swing set inside the screened-in porch. I will always remember Bob for his sense of humor, his great taste in cars, wine, clothes, and especially shoes. Rest in peace Bob. We will miss you dearly and we will meet again one day. "

"My sincere condolences to the family. I was a 18 month patient of Dr. Mack in 2000 and he performed a miracle with my teeth...and gave me a beautiful smile. He was a perfect gentleman...and a perfectionist!! His support team was the BEST...Ann, Sally, Lucy and Mercedes...just wonderful. I remember Dr Mack's passion with cars. I will miss him. Sincerely, Kukie"

"A gentleman, a life long scholar, a skilled practitioner, a patriot, a devoted husband and kind father: truly an extraordinary man. You will be missed until our paths cross again. A privilege to have called you a friend. Cindy and Aly, we share your profound loss. "

"My sincere condolences to Cindy, Aly and your family. Praying for you all. "

"Good bye my dearest Dr. Mack You will be in my heart forever. I considered it an HONOR to work with you for 22 years. It was not an easy challenge. We needed to give one hundred percent every day and it was worth it. I learned so much from you and loved your sense of humor. You would always tell me: "What a proper name you have!". (My name is MERCEDES). I will always miss you."

"When I started working for Dr Mack, I was a 25 year old ingénue. To say that he shaped me professionally would be a huge understatement. His passion, dedication and meticulousness were not only inspiring, but at times down right daunting. Whenever a smile was missing that certain je ne sais quoi or a tooth needed to fit into an inadequate amount of space, Dr. Mack would look at me and say "you can do it honey" then just walk away. It was the proverbial sink or swim approach to learning the tricks of the trade. Needless to say, I never drowned and our patients reaped the benefits of his unconventional sowing. I will be forever grateful for his mentoring and I will always, always miss him. Lucy"

"As the saying goes, " Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life." Well Dr. Mack never worked a day in his life because he love dentistry and making beautiful smiles. He looked forward to coming to work to see his patients, work with his team and to be the best dentist ever. He taught me so many things in the 29 years that I worked for him but the one thing that sticks with me the most is to take pride in your work and always do your best. He will never be forgotten because his smiles are everywhere. "

"Good bye My Dearest Dr Mack. You will be in My heart for ever. I considered it an HONOR to Work for Dr Mack for 22 years,working for him was not a easy challenge. We need to give more than one hundred percent ,but it was worthy. I learn so much with Dr Mack. Loved his sense of humor . He will tell me often ' what a proper name '. ( My name is MERCEDES). I will miss you�?'?�?'��?'��?'��?'��?'��?'?�?'?�?'?�?'?"

"I am heart broken to hear of Bob's passing. My memories are rich with heartfelt appreciation for his impact on my life. I worked for Dr. Mack back in the 70's, I was his office manager, chairside, sometimes lab assistant. The beliefs he had in me made me who I am today! We always bantered back and forth about finding someone to darn is socks when he got old! I am so Happy he found love and happiness. He had such a powerful presence but a generous heart. He hosted a baby shower for me 37 years ago and gave me a crib for my first daughter. I will treasure my memories of Bob."

"I have had the pleasure of sitting across the "dental chair" from Dr. Mack for the past 29 years; you might say, "his right hand" and sometimes his left too! Being part of Dr. Mack's dental family taught me the real meaning of perfection, to always strive for excellence, to believe in myself and the meaning of "Team Work". Dr. Mack was a motivator who loved thinking outside of the box and delivering life changing dental masterpieces to his patients. I will miss his insatiable love for dentistry, his heartfelt laugh, his crazy nicknames for his staff and his endless desire to "Be the Best"! Thanks for the 29 years.... and yes, we were definitely "Cooking with Gas"!!! With Love and Admiration, "Sally-bug" Jackson"

"Cindy Total class. Bob always had my utter respect. He was instrumental in my professional career, and I would have never achieved what I have without his encouragement and input. Will miss him and that knowing smile he always had."

"Dear Cindy, we really miss seeing you and Stella in the hood on our early morning walks, my heart goes out to you. Bob was always "movie star - like " to me in the old Hollywood dashing, charming, gentlemanly way... His easy smile, (he gave me a great one too), his love of fast cars, he helped me buy my first Maserati and oh yes, there were his signature blue suede shoes. He was a genuine , authentic , gracious man and l will miss him."

"I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Mack at an early age... Around 12 years old.. We met through motorsports and there was an instant connection. More than just our take no prisoners, but fun sense of humor. I grew up with my mom and grandma and there were a few gentlemen that really had a major impact on my life. Dr. Mack was certianly the man that, through our friendship, gave me so many life lessons, advice and just his wisdom from both the personal and business endeavors. On a daily basis I strive to conduct any business I am involved in as he would. He was that first person that I looked up to and learned from. I will always be thankful and blessed for the time we were able to spend together. There are special people that are put in your life. Dr. Mack was that person for me and I will miss him. "

"There was only one BOB MACK. He stood "taller than tall". He was a giant in our dental world . Nobody did restorative dentistry like Bob. He was truly a gifted clinician. I really loved our chats throughout the years. I loved being part of the Bob Mack team.i have missed him over the last few years and will continue to do so throughout my life."

"I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved Robert, please accept my sincerest condolences. May the beautiful memories shared and God's promise of seeing our loved ones again here on earth very soon, guard your hearts and minds at this time of distress. May our Father in the heavens be with you comforting you and giving you strength to endure the days ahead. (Psalms 34:18)"

"His energy and vibrance will always be remembered. His passion for Sports Cars was second to none. Ferrari Club misses the days when "Doc" was large and in charge! He made all the events spectacular and most of all, FUN. Godspeed Doc, I know you are late braking into a corner in heaven."

"I remember the first time I met Bob. I was leaving the Players Club in 1973. Bob pulled up next to me in his new brown 450 SL Mercedes. He was always ahead of the curve. I said "how do you like your new car"!! His response, I love it! We became instant friends. For over twenty years he and Cindy celebrated X-Mas at our home. One of the things I will miss about Bob was his sense of humor. Not only could he dish out ( and boy could he ) but he could laugh at himself. A rare quality. One day at World Gym Bob told us that he won a race.Tom,one of the gym rats asked if he won by a nose and he could not stop laughing. I will miss the fun we had at the dinners over the years. I always admired his love for dentistry and how his passion grew over the years. He new he was the best and so did his patients as well as his contemporaries. My sincere sympathy go out to Cindy,Aly and the family."

"To the family of Dr. Mack, Please accept my deep and sincere condolences for your loss. I have been a very grateful patient of Dr. Mack's for 25 years or so. Even though I live in Coral Gables, I would make the trek to Ft. Lauderdale happily to be treated by him. He was nonpareil in his craft, with superb diagnostic skills, the lightest touch, and admirable perfectionism in everything he did. I always smile when I remember Dr. Mack beginning every appointment by looking at my teeth and saying, with satisfaction, "Boy, I do good work!" He was absolutely right -- and that is the highest compliment to be paid to a consummate professional. I will miss Dr. Mack very much. May he rest in peace. With sadness, Lili Levi"

"Dear Cindy and Aly- My sincere and hearfelt condolences to you both. I will have very fond memories of our prime rib Friday night dinners at Chucks and holiday gatherings. Bob, a kind soul, will be grealty missed by all who knew him. With Love, Laura Raybin Miller"

"My sincere condolences to Cindy, Aly and to all of Dr. Mack's family."

"Dr. Mack was a gifted, compassionate dentist and a kind man. He will be greatly missed in the South Florida Community and by myself. My sincere sympathy to his wife Cindy and family. He was the best dentist that I have ever had."

"I first met Bob 45 years ago, and I immediately recognized that he was in a class of his own. He and I became good friends and developed a close working relationship that lasted almost half a century. I considered it an honor to work with him and was always amazed at the precision and beauty of his work. Bob brought out the best in me, and I think I tried harder just because it was for Bob Mack. Bob was also a straight shooter and would let me know if he thought I could do better. I respected him for that. I was so happy for Bob when he found love with Cindy, because it completed his life in so many ways. I know that she has been his rock and helped him enjoy life so much more. My sincere sympathy to Cindy and her family over the loss of my good friend and colleague. "

"Dr. Mack was just an amazing person and a stellar professional like no other. I remember when I first met him...He gave me such a hard time. I knew that working with him I had to be nothing but the best. We shared a lot in common especially our passion for dentistry and patient care. We shared cases, we discussed challenges and we shared stories. I remember when he would call and say "Ana your cases are just breathtaking!!" I would be so proud because I knew his standards. When I was very sick he was there by my side with phone calls and words of encouragement; like a proud dad. He even made sure to find me the best care in town. Right now my heart is in pieces because you are no longer here. But I know I am a better professional and person because I was blessed to have you for 4 years in my life. I know you will always be by my side. You have no idea the impact you made. I am so proud to say I worked with Dr. Robert Mack and I had the honor to learn so much from him. You will be terribly missed and I thank you for everything you have done for me, I will be forever grateful. "

"Bob was a class and fun act - first class professional, manners, wardrobe, home, automobiles, gifts, etc. always the best.He and i shared many dinner-meetings discussing patient cases and life. After one such meeting, Bob sent me a letter saying we will have to cut down the wine at the dinners because he awoke the next morning thinking he had encephalitis. My sincere condolences to his family and close friends."
