Very sad news for all who knew Mark.

WOW.....I don't know who wrote that Obit but....I would like them to write mine. I didn't know Mark, but my prayers and thoughts go out to the family and friends that did. He sounds like he was a brave soul and a lot of fun....kind of guy you'd like to have as a friend. I love the entire obit but particularly these lines: "Mark was preceded in death by 33 or so tumors and other non-essential body parts that were taken out over the years by gifted surgeons." "In lieu of flowers or other useless gifts, a donation to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America would be appropriate, or if you want, just do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for someone in need on his behalf."
