    RIP Mark, we never met but this is shocking news. My thoughts are for his family at this dreadful time.

    A total shock. Only spoke to Mark a few times but followed his antics on here

    A true inspiration and he will be very sadly missed.


    Condolences

    I had the honour of calling this man my friend, at this moment in time my faith in the almighty is in question. Everything Mark tried he achieved, he truly was an insperation to all who knew him. An amazing and wonderful guy.

    I'm just glad that I had the chance to let him know how much his friendship meant to me and I loved him as the brave, giving, thoughtful person he was.

    I wish I could write more but here and now I am still trying to make sense of it.

    He was my friend pure and simple I was only a phone call away. Why didn't he phone me or any other number of us, Nige, Cliffy, James etc etc etc he was loved by all who knew him, infact it was impossible not to love Mark, he was that type of guy.

    Cliff cannot get online at present but is as devastated as me, I've just phoned him at work and like me and no doubts all who knew Mark, he wishes to pay tribute to a very special and brave man that we both had the true honour to class as a friend. Now he is gone our lives will be that much the worse for his absence, but I FOR ONE WILL NEVER FORGET HIM.
    THERE IS A LIFE IN PEACE AND STRIFE THAT WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE, WE GIVE OUR BEST THEN GO TO REST, WHEN WE'VE NO MORE TO GIVE.

    I had to read the OP twice as I couldn't believe it at first. I'm shocked by this sad news

    Mark was one of the great BBS characters.

    Condolences to his family.

    Bloody hell. Never had the pleasure of meeting Mark but I always enjoyed his posts, definitely a larger than life character.
    Shocked. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

    To think that new members of the forum won't be enriched by his presence on here. He had the funniest thread that I have read (or contributed to). The problem of his wonky tadger brought out the doctor/'worst'/funniest in all of us and had me in tears of laughter.

    Thank you Mad Mark for the laughter and rest in peace.

    Again I had the pleasure of knowing this man and calling him my friend!

    Yes, he was certainly different, the man in the flesh was NOT the man who posted here!

    He was warm, bright affectionate and generous, many of his talents remained unknown to the vast majority of those who only knew 'of' him!

    A true character!

    Campbell, called me to tell me only minutes ago - he too his shocked beyond words!

    My heart goes out to Rachael and the family.

    Awful - just awful.

    Dave
