Mark was a Great Guy.

My life was made better because of him.

Mark lived every moment to the fullest.

When you were with Mark - you had no cares - only moments of great joy.

I had such a crush on Mark in Junior High.  He was a wonderful, handsome guy!  As I've read some of the profiles on here I'm sad that he didn't get to experience life the way the rest of us have.  Warren, I remember what great friends you were.   What a great tribute you wrote for a friend.

It has been 50 years now that I lost my friend, Mark, to such a tragic accident. His memory is still so fresh in my mind and I smile when I think of the crazy things he used to do that brought such belly laughs to him while terrorizing those that were the recipients of such insane stunts. I still remember the screams of football running backs in a pile of players at the end of play and looking down to see Mark twisting their ankle or goughing them in the eye; every time with a maniacal smile of satisfaction on his face. I can't recall how times we nearly crashed my car from Wimmer grabbing ahold of the steering wheel and with his abundant strength not letting go until the last possible moment before we were to crash; and that same smile of accomplishment on his face.

I miss my friend today. I can't begin to even consider what he must have been up to these past 50 years! Too impossible to imagine.
