Jim Robert Mack, age 77, passed away early Sunday morning, February 5, 2017. Jim was born in Clayton, Alabama on July 16, 1939. He was the first born son of Hayward Mack and Louise (Scott Mack) Cotton. At the age of 3, Jim, his parents and his new   sister, Sarah moved to Ohio. When Jim was 10, he was baptized at the Peoples Baptist Church. Approximately 30 years ago a friend at the Massillon group home, asked Jim to come to Sunday school with her and he has continued his enthusiastic attendance until he became too ill. He went to J. J. Burns elementary school and went on to become a thriving, energetic student at the Mentally Retarded Developmental Disabled classes. He loved making things such as bird houses, and small lamps at the workshop. However, Jim had such a love to sell the products that he soon became a top sales person. With kindness in his heart and a big smile he greeted every customer. He was a kind person who loved to laugh and talk especially to the "good looking" ladies. Jim won trophies with bowling in the Special Olympics and fishing. He always liked wearing his different hats. When Jim became weaker, sometimes you would see him in his wheelchair going through all the motions of bowling or fishing in the dining room just smiling with his hat on his head. Jim was preceded in death by his parents Hayward Mack and Louise Scott Mack Cotton and his younger brother, James Otis Mack. He leaves to mourn for him a special long-time friend, Judy Robishaw; (2) sisters, Sarah Gravely of Cincinatti, Ohio, Anne Singleton and a faithful brother-in-law, Asie Singleton of Canton, Ohio as well as many aunts, nephews, cousins and friends.
