It is a sad day to bid farewell to the last son of Margaret Smith. I regret never having the opportunity to share a round of golf with Uncle Mark.
I can confirm he was a caring and giving man. He was always available to help with my mother after my father, Robert Smith, passed. He will be deeply missed.
Our prayers go out to his family.
