Marc and Lynn's front porch

I've been a neighbor to Marc and Lynn for a few years now.  We had a homeless cat named Thomas, who hung out a both our houses.  Thomas would not allow people to touch him.  Marc changed that.  He, and Lynn often petted him.  I'm sure everyone who knew Marc knew of his love for cats.  I saw it every day.

Marc also helped me with gardening.  I knew him only a short time.  I'm heartbroken over his passing.

Marc loved Candy so much! This is from 2018 and I'm glad he was able to see her and her little sister Delphine one last time.

Very special! Wow, just as I was typing these words a fairly big earthquake just shook us here in Japan.

Hi Marc.  Is that you?  Great memories and I was Lucky having been blessed with Marc in my life. Nice bear hugs.  His smile was contagious.  Such a peaceful soul.  I have absolutely no memory of ever fighting with him.  Dad called him a girl magnet.  At least one girl called him a God.  For me, at least an Angel.  I love you, Marc, forever.

Marc is part of the fabric of my childhood.  We would talk as if there was no interval of time between the last call and pick up the conversation right where we left it.

I am deeply saddened.

May the memory of Marc be a blessing.

What a kind and sweet soul Marc was. My memories of him from HS are of his beautiful smile and contagious laugh. I am so sad to hear of his passing and will forever see him in my mind as the gorgeous, golden haired, California boy. You will be missed Marc, Godspeed on your new journey my friend. 

You were such a sweet human being. I was always so shy around you at Van Nuys High School, but you were always kind to me! You had the most brilliant blue eyes!  Always a smile. You will be missed! Love Rachel (Weyland)

I remember playing in the pool at your house because you guys were the only ones with a slide. Michelle would play the Bangles tape and we would all dance. We would model for Nicole's photoshoots for her class (I still have those photos). Riding our bikes through the underground tunnels to go from one side of the valley to the other in 20 mins at warp BMX speeds. Those were the days, and I can't believe that one of our important members of our pack is gone. I sit in silence, in memory of you. Be at peace friend. Be at peace.
