Mark "Verg" Vergeront

Still missing you Verge

Hey Virgil Jeff Young passed away this year! We gave you that nickname when we lived on Bandini. Remember when we were at Willow Beach and Rick Francis wouldn't let you sit in his boat? It was along time ago my friend. I never laughed so hard as the times we had together and I'll never forget. See you when my journey is over buddy.

Haven't stopped thinking about Mark, since hearing of his passing. Trying to remember conversations, & reasons he made me smile & laugh. Wishing I could turn back time. I do hope he knows he remains in the hearts of all the lives he touched. Hoping he can read these messages, & know how much he is missed by everyone, who was so blessed to have known him.

I just found out about Mark's passing, several years ago. I met him in ceramics class back in 1983, at Cal State San Bdno. Great guy, fun personality, & gifted at ceramics! I remember drinking Budweiser beer a few times with him at the school pub. So glad he became a teacher, & am sure he was well loved. I was so sad to hear he passed at such a young age, as he had so much more to offer people in this life time. I cried when I heard the news of his passing. I believe he is an angel now...

Hope you are catching lunkers my friend. Miss your stories and your laugh

I had no idea that Mark had passed and I'm heartbroken to know he longer graces this earth. The last we spoke he called to let me know his amazing sister had passed away after an illness took her far too soon. I loved the entire family and still do! I literally googled him last night as mom had just come across some pictures she'd saved (so many of mine have been lost during moves, basement flooods etc.) and I thought I'd share them with him.

Mark has a spirit that is almost beyond...

Vergil and I were friends since our early 20's. He made the stories that we still cherish and recall to others...happen. See ya buddy
