Such a handsome picture of Mark; made me recall the first time I met him in the 1990s. That evening with Keith and Kevin at the Cab he was full of laughter and delightful to be around. So sorry that he has spent so many years dealing with illness and discomforting conditions and am glad he is at eternal peace.
