Maxine and Stacy, George and I are so very sorry for your loss. Mark was such a dear friend to George since a very young age. He became a good friend of mine after George and I were married.We took a real estate course together in Hamilton. I used to give him girly advice when he started dating
Maxine in the 70's . I guess it worked , since he ended up marrying her!! He was truely one of a kind! A very special ,thoughtful , genuinely loyal husband , father , son , and friend to so many. He will be missed.
