Mark was a great man and good friend to my father, Doug, who also passed recently. He was an inspirational person who overcame so much and was a great support to my Dad when he first had to get used to being in a wheelchair. I enjoyed my chats with Mark and will remember him with great fondness and admiration. My deep condolences go out to his family. He will be very much missed.
