Mark was an incredibly generous, inspirational, and invariably positive (and hilarious) mentor to me, when I began working on ancient sport and for many years since. He epitomized the very best of his beloved Canada, and he welcomed me as an American who had been born on the wrong side of the border. Please accept my deepest condolences--I wish I had had a Dad like him, and you must be a wonderful family as a result of his love.
