Am very sorry to hear of the passing of Mark. He and I were neighbors when he lived on A St. in South Tacoma for a couple of years and enjoyed a few fishing trips together. MarK and I also became fathers at about the same time. Sadly, after Mark left the neighborhood we lost contact with each other but I counted him as my friend to this day.
