    Mark Harrop's passing.

    I heard of his passing (today?) from another GSR member. May he be forever remembered fondly.

    Wow, hate to hear this. He was quite the character here for several years.

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

          That guy is my hero. I don't know how much of his story is true but he could post and blaspheme with the best of them. If he's gone, well that just sucks.

                          Vivid memories of my introduction to GSR and sparring with Mark Harrop. God was he bullheaded. And I say that with affection.
                          Sorry to hear of his passing. I scrolled through his facebook page but did not find an obituary or a cause of death.
                          Keep the shiny side up, Mark!

                              Damn. I really enjoyed Mark's personality and his understanding of the world. This is a big loss.
