Oh Dexter, so sad to read this. You were such a wonderful mentor to me, Jane and Sharon in our childhood. Always had a smile on your face when we would pop over. Mark, I am so very very sorry for this massive loss. I hope life has treated you kind, after the 1990´s. I will never forget your dad. I think about him when I think about our childhood. What a great man! Sending love, comfort and prayers.
