I knew him as Mr. Marks and thats how I will always remember him. He was the father of one of my best friends from High School, his some Patrick. So I have known him for over 20 years.
Of course I got to know him as an adolescent and that relationship foundation was always there. Thankfully my work in the last 18 months has required me to travel to the east coast significantly so I was able to reconnect with my dear friend Patrick and his father.
Mr. Marks was always a kind, good natured and funny gentleman. He led a long and varied life. I loved his stories of his childhood growing up in the depression and his war time stories.
I know the loss of his wife man years ago was a big blow to him and his sone. I can pray that they are now reunited again.
