Eunice - I'm so sorry to hear that Marc passed on and that it took me this long to find out about his passing that I could not return the favor of Marc coming to Jim's funeral in 1988. I remember meeting you both before you were married so long long ago. How time slips away. You have my heartfelt sympathies

Eunice, I'm so sorry to read of Marc's passing. I will always remember him for being such a wonderful man. Working for Marc when I was in school was a learning experience and He always took the time to teach me the importance of treating customers respectfully, which I have carried with me all these years. He truly was my mentor.
