Mark and I grew up together on Melvin Drive in Toledo and had more adventures together than you could imagine, some of which we were lucky to survive. He was also the best euchre partner I ever had, and our double-deck games with Kim and another friend were legendary. Then there were our Friday night poker games with the boys that were simply the best. Although I didn't see Mark much after I left Toledo, I'll never forget all the great times we had. Rest in peace my friend.
