I'm sorry I missed the obituary in the paper and didn't know Mark had passed until today (9/8/10). But Mark "Mad Dog" Brown was a fun guy that I met back in the 80's when we became friends. To Allen and the family: Mark was loved and will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in Peace brother.

Allan: I am sure you don't remember me but I am Dan Pacurar's daughter. I knew Maddog for more years than I can remember. I was at Tuna's from the time I was 11 and Maddog is one of the regulars I remember so vividly. Tuna's reminded me of Cheers and I am sure he will be greatly missed. My condolences and prayers go out to you and your family.

Allen and family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of my friend Dog. He was such a giving person. If it wasn't for him letting me stay in the apartment upstairs for a month while my new home was being built, I would have been homeless and I will always remember him for that. He was a good man and I will miss him.
