How lucky you are Alyne, to have been with such a vibrant, spirited and generous soul such as Marcus was! To have shared your love and life with him must have been filled with intelligent debates of conversations, laughter and plenty of surprises. Marcus touched many hearts, and will be greatly missed.

Some of our earliest and fondest boating memories on the Rondout were of Marcus and Alyne aboard their "Alymar" in Kingston where we visited with them and Ralph and Stella. Marcus always brought a smile to all those around him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Alyne and with your family...

When I say I knew Marcus my whole life, it is not an exaggeration. He and Alyne were just across the hall the day I came home from the hospital. There are truly no words to describe how much he will be missed. All my love to Alyne and Alyse and of course to Marcus...
