The Monterey/Carmel volleyball community wishes Mark peace and love. Mark was a one-of-a-kind on the court; once donating polls to keep the beach courts going. He played volleyball for 55 years. One wishes we will be able to enjoy life and our favorite sport that long. To all the vb'ers who knew Mark, we will meet on Carmel Beach on Sunday, March 28th around 11:00 to play and remember Mark.

The clock stopped still today for the first time in so many months...the absence of the constant flurry of minutes and hours and days was earily like an experience of peace that I have been seeking in dealing with some of the parallel issues in our lives we often talked about. I hope that it is also this same peace that now envelops your spirit (you are now the empirical authority on the answer to that debate).

That you were there as I gained many valuable insights on so many different levels will not be forgotten. A belated "go in peace" to you and all that knew, loved and respected you. Your Friend
