            I'll pour myself a wee tipple and take a good toke in honor of this departed man. I had a great bit of respect for this man. May his detractors be so blessed to have such mourning family and friends honoring their passing. Thanks Garth.

              Having not checked in on the forum for much of the summer, I missed this thread until now.
              Sparred with him for years both on and off the GSR screen.. A man with solid values. I am very sorry to hear of Mark leaving us.

              Your post is pointed and the point is both clear and accurate.

                That is a lot of medals! I guess the dates in the end of that video should be earlier than 1996-2022 - anyone know how old he was? My guess is it should have been 56?

                  I was wondering about the dates also and wondered if it was a goof, or related to time served in the military.

                    Mark posted a lot of pictures on his Facebook page ....... I'm not all that great with ages but if I had to guess he would've be in his mid fifties to early sixties ......If the 1996 should have been 1966 that would have made him 56 .......

                        Thank you for sharing that, Garth.

                        Over the years Mark shared some...unusual...things with me.
                        I am one who believes respect must be earned, not given automatically..
                        Mark fully earned my respect and that is one of the highest compliments I have to offer anyone.

                        RIP

I knew you never believed they worked in either direction and more power into the curve was always your style. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. My thought to that is the fastest man alive is! Whatever you were doing this time, a rain check probably would have been a better idea.
                          WTF are you talking about earl? Do you know something we don't? This post suggests that Mark did something stupid that wound up killing him. Unless you have specific knowledge, it would be best if you STFU.

                              56 years old is way to young to die at. You haven't even hit the prime of you life. I didn't know him but may he and his family have peace.

                                someone referred to a photo as he looking 'frail'
                                I didn't think he looked frail at all (folks are just so used to seeing obesity everywhere ... including in the mirror! )

                                I presumed some terminal disease (unless i missed something)
                                Really enjoyed his postings. cheers Mark
