Such a sad loss. Although I didn't know him like some of the member here, I can certainly tell what an incredible person he was. The fond memories of his posts and more so the get together's he attended makes it clear. May he rest in peace.

R I P Mark

Dan2010 · 21 January 2018, 08:35 AM

Had tons of fun joking around with him. Hard to believe he is gone.

FeelingTheBlues · 21 January 2018, 09:46 AM

Raising a glass in your honor tonight my friend, what a load of laughs I had with your posts and our banter.

Andad · 21 January 2018, 09:52 AM

Thanks for the time you gave us.

RIP mate.

swatty · 21 January 2018, 10:08 AM

Left us way too soon, raise a glass for him today

Cru Jones · 21 January 2018, 10:35 AM

Mark, you'll always be a wonderful part of TRF for me. Thanks for all the memories.

teqp · 21 January 2018, 10:41 AM

I enjoyed his posts. I’ll raise a glass in his honor tonight. Rest In Peace, Mark.

cop414 · 21 January 2018, 10:45 AM

Here’s to you my friend

Mosco · 21 January 2018, 11:03 AM

Can’t believe it’s been 2 years... :(

Tim, she did check into TRF on 12/26/17, so she is still thinking of the group. I amend my earlier comment. I think it's OK to reach out. (Took me a while to find her user name on the Community section).

Rock · 21 January 2018, 11:27 AM

Here's to 'The Badger'. Remembered by his friends.

Daniel, I’ve been thinking of this off and on all day, I’ll reach out to Laura.

Well done, sir. My guess is she will appreciate that we are thinking of him.

Two years now, oh my.
For those members who knew him please raise a glass tonight in his honor.

Wow. I don't usually drink Chivas. I'm out of my usual stuff and it's what I have. I'm having one while I opened this post and it's what Mark's holding in his hand in this picture. RIP Mark. Miss you and your posts. You were a great guy. Salute

77T · 21 January 2018, 12:39 PM

I recall those days fondly, Tim.

Massively miss them.

Can a few more wankers and when it’s time, many years from now, you’ll be able to use the front door.

That was a great meet Mon.

Mark, missing you very much, but you know that.

Let's have a scotch. I have three tickets to Penn & Teller tonight, we are only two. I know you liked them.

Hi, thank you so much guys, it means so much that you still think of Mark, to me it is inconceivable that it has been two years, it feels like both yesterday and a life time ago. I can't believe he wouldn't even of been forty yet.

Yes, I sold the stud, I can tell you that was one of the oddest experiences of my life, that in a time when the horse market was incredibly poor every horse sold and sold well, that they all bounced on the lorry to go to their new homes and are doing well. I moved and love where I live now and do an utterly stress free job. Its only now I'd say my brain is returning to normal, no one ever tells you how brutally physical grief like that is.

I do pop in occasionally, still wearing the Sub and just about to treat it to a Toshi strap

MonBK · 21 January 2018, 08:13 PM

Good to hear from you Laura and glad to hear you're doing well.

Nice of you Sarge.

Live your life like it is your last day. Not get crazy and wasted but be soulful and cool to all. Though I never met him that was Mark I think. See you on the other side.

cop414 · 21 January 2018, 11:16 PM

Laura, thank you so much for checking in, we all miss him dearly. I’m happy to hear that things are going well for you, I know it’s what Mark would have wanted.

Magwitch · 22 January 2018, 12:33 AM

I never met him but fondly remember his posts when I used to lurk. I always got a kick out of the Long Haired General...I am sorry to hear he is gone.
