I’m so sorry for the family’s loss. My late husband, Dave LaFountain, spoke so highly of Mark. They were childhood friends. When we planned Dave’s parents 50th wedding anniversary, he reached out to Mark to help make it memorable. Mark picked my in-laws up the morning of their anniversary in one of his antique cars, and drove them all through Hudson Falls, visiting their old neighborhood and favorite hangouts. He dropped them back off at our house, which is the one and only time I met him. I’m sure Dave has greeted him with a big hug by now. My sincere condolences.
