Mac had recently been in the news for having made jokes were rather distasteful, and Barack Obama, who Bernie fervently supported, reprimanded him for them.
His real name was Bernard Jeffrey McCullough. He was born to a single mother.
There wasn't a lot of longevity in his family:
His mother died of cancer when he was 16, and he was raised by his grandmother on the South Side of Chicago. His two brothers also died, one in infancy, the other of a heart attack in his 20s.
He married his wife in 1976. She, a daughter, and a granddaughter survive him.
