Together as United Artists we appreciated good quality, which not only applied to work but to art (wood working), food, all things in general, and people who shared the same ideas....

I loved you like a brother Mark. Your inspiration and guidance had a profound and positive impact on me. Inspiration that carries me to this day. I'll never forget you in all the positive ways you touched my soul. You were one of only a few who have made a difference for me in my day to day life. Thank you for being part of it, I am richer for our brief time together so many years ago. My deepest sympathies to Violet and kids.
