Such a shame. May he rest peacefully and his family find comfort.

He was 3 years younger than I am. Makes me stop for a minute and thank the lord for every day.

Still can't get a grip on this. Can't believe my dear friend is gone.

Johny, glad you could make the funeral, and I'm sad I couldn't.

I'm in contact with Mark's partner, Laura. She is an incredibly strong woman going trough an impossibly difficult time.

Mark contributed positively to this forum. Good people do that and it continues today reuniting some old friends. Great to hear from you Dan & Lisa.
