I was so saddened to learn of Mark’s passing. He was a dear friend and unfortunately we weren’t as in touch the last few years but in the short time I knew him (we met in 2012 at a little bar in grant park) I have always loved his friendship. He probably never knew but he did so much for me during a series of new changes and was so kind and generous of his time, friendship, and presence. I will forever miss him. My thoughts are with the many people that were part of “Tall” Mark’s life.
