Mark, my friend always.

Marky Mark, Zeedno, Prezidente; you needed all those names to encompass that awesome personality. With all the physical problems you had, you where so positive all the time that you convinced the rest of us that you didn't have a care in the world. No party was complete without 'The Prez'. From the first time we met at STCC in '72, I felt like we were 'twin sons of different Mothers'. You will be missed, but by no means ever forgotten.

Mark and I were best of friends and we played together in "The Cellar Lights". Two other members of the group were Bill O'Connor, Gary Sachs and Donnie Cucco. Every Saturday morning Mark and I would go "down street" to Springfield to our favorite music stores checking out guitars, drums, and band related music stuff. Mark and I were known as "The Bruisers". Mark and I were best friends and he will always be remembered in my heart.

Mark, I had the greatest pleasure to know you through Jimi and your band. I always enjoyed your warm personality, your kindness, and listening to the band. Rest in peace.

Mark and I were first cousins growing up from day one in the same house in Springfield- he was much more my brother than cousin. His passing has been very tough. But what eases the pain is the memory of his attitude after a life of physical problems from age 17 on. I'm not sure I could have been so positive. We spoke on the phone just hours before his passing and oddly, I feel as close to him now as ever. I love ya Cuz!
