At times like these I realize how poorly I've done at keeping in touch with old friends. Glenn Clarke called me yesterday to tell me that Marc had lost his fight. I hoped to stop by and sign the actual book, but unfortunately that wasn't possible. My sincerest condolences to Karen and his entire circle of family and friends. Gary Shrader

Karen & girls
I am sorry to hear about Marc's passing. It's been years since we've seen or talked to each other since moving off of good old Harrison. There were many happy memories all those years ago. He was a great guy, and all the kids in the neighborhood loved his generosity. All those candy bars would charge my kids up and twirl in my draperies !!! Marc, loved it as you both could watch from your porch !!! Those are what will help you through, the memories.....
Love, Mary Jo Madigan

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, memories of my brother. One of my fondest memories is when working with Marc, we were filling bags of plush and not enjoying each others company at the moment. It ended with us physically rolling & fighting in the huge mound of bags of plush. Then stopping and realizing how goofy we looked fighting on bags of toys. We laughed till we cried.
