Mark E. Rogers

I had been a fan of Mark's writing for many years and finally got the courage to email him. They say never meet the people you admire. That they will inevitably let you down. This could not be further from what happened with Mark! He replies almost immediately and was so kind and gracious. He even had me check out some of his upcoming work, which was amazing of course. Sadly it wasn't published before his untimely end. Farewell to a great guy with a huge heart and condolences to his family...

I knew Mark through his Samaurai Cat paintings and other works, and met him at various East Coast science fiction conventions where his work was featured in art shows. He was a fine artist and a splendid person, and I regret his passing.

Mark and I went to high school together .We ate lunch,played football together. He shared a lot of his art work with me. I still have a picture of him helping me score a touchdown during a football game. I wish I could communicate somehow with the family to let them know how gifted he was at Pt Beach high. I will miss my friend.

I find myself missing him more everyday. Kate and all the family are in our prayers.

Mark Rogers was my friend for 50 years and the world is a poorer place without him. He left us as he would have wanted to, being with his family. I'll miss you, good friend!
