I can´t hardly believe that it´s been 14 years since Marc passed away. He was a wonderful man with a beautiful wife and great children. He is missed.

I heard about Marc's passing some years ago, but never got a chance to write anything.

I went to school with Marc in Hudson for seven years. He was just an amazing guy, in many ways. He had a natural way with all kinds of people, even at that young age. The rest of us were amazed; he seemed several years ahead of us.

Injuries sometimes limited his sports activities (including hockey, which he loved, of course), but I so admired how he always did his best, never even considered giving up, and never complained.

I send my deepest sympathies on losing a remarkable man at such a young age. I am truly glad to have known Marc.

I had the privilege of working with Marc in a business setting as a customer of his company. In the short time I got to know Marc I was always amazed at how personable and approachable he was. He and I always started off our conversations with questions about each other's family.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Rest in Peace, sweet Marc.

Much love, Brenda (Sadowski) Geary
