Yesterday

My heart felt condolences to the family. I know he's in a better place now, but I'll miss him. Though Mark was only a couple of years older when I moved to his neighborhood in 1971 he was a big kid. He was like a big brother wrestling us around. He was a catalyst of the neighborhood playing what ever game was in season at our neighborhood stadium; the circle drive or back yard at the Stones' House. I remember Mark as a writer, a fighter, and always on the cusp of an adventure. Oh how he lived!
