Cassie and family, I am so sad to hear of Marc's passing. I met & knew Marc from the Electronics & Radio-TV classes at Parkway West Vo-Tech in Oakdale, PA (77-79). Marc and I continued on to Penn Tech and became best friends there. I have some pictures of Marc and yourself at our Penn Tech graduation (1980). I'd like to send them to you. I remember Marc and I working together for his uncle one weekend, helping his uncle move stage clothes and props at a building on Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Marc was a great person and I am honored to have known him as my friend. - James Mounts

To all of Marcs family, My heartfelt sympathy goes to each of you at this time of grief. I didn't know Marc well, but I knew much about him from my son Jeff. I know Jeff loved him like a brother & respected him as a good Christian man. Jeff gets comfort KNOWING that Marc is walking with Our Lord, & that someday he'll see him again. God's Blessings on each of you, Judy McKee

Cassie I'm so sorry I just saw this I have many memories of you two together in high school praying for you

Marc was a good Christian man with a loving family. Our hearts are broken today for his wife Cassie and sons Ben & Steve. Our love and sympathy go out to all of Marc's family as well. Marc was my friend and my mentor. He taught me almost everything I know about firearms, shooting and reloading. Without his guidance & patience I would have been lost. We loved to go shooting and always had fun. We had a good time know matter what we were doing. Shooting in the pistol league, bowling pins or trap we had a blast. But we really loved "Cowboy Action Shooting" ! My cowboy name is Steeltown Joe and Marc's son Steve is Yosemite Steve. Marc wanted a name to reflect one of his other loves cars and racing so he was "Bigg Lead Foote" ! He was always happy when we were with our Cowboy family as well. This picture is of Marc and I at River Junction Shootist Society. I loved my friend and will miss my friend. My Faith is strong and I know he is with the lord and that I will see him again! Please say a prayer for my friend and his family.
