Mark played a heck of a bari sax in high school-my memories of him with the Rythmics and the Soundmasters are still precious.

My heart felt prayers and condolences to Judy.

I first worked with Mark when he was an articling student at Macauley Lipson, and went on to follow his career with great respect and admiration.

Mark was a wonderful man, and lent a helping hand to many.

Mark you will be missed!

My heart felt sympathies and prayers go out to Mark's family. Mark was truly an icon in the condominium industry and someone with whom I had the personal pleasure of working with for many years. A man that I would call my friend, as he treated me like I was one of his. Always helpful and available to lend an ear. Mark will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace.
