I've known Mark for many, many years from the Westfield Table Club. He and I talked endlessly about so many subjects. He would usually sit in front of table 1 or 2 with his feet up on a chair. I would come over to sit with him after playing my matches and we always had such good conversations. He was always well-spoken and caring. When he left the NJTTC years back, we stayed in touch by email for a while, but eventually fell out of touch. He was a good, good man and I was very saddened to hear of his passing.
