Very nice words about a very nice person. Unfortunately, it's these sad events that cause me to stop and look around and come to the realization that life is fragile. I want to believe that work, technology, money etc...are important...but the reality is... they're not. Not by a long shot. Family, friends and the memories and ideals that are left behind with them are the only important "gifts" that we can give.
I hope that I can give only a fraction of what Marc has given to his family and friends.
Hi James it is beyond me how you deivered such a fitting tribute for Marc without shedding a tear, he was obviously a dear friend to you and a great family man! My thoughts are with all his family and friends! Please keep up the good work you do and i love the JK site!
Good to know there are people like yourself out there who value people like Mark oub there. Gave me inspiration to reach out to people more, it is sad as to how rare people like Mark really are.
What a touching video. You summed up his character so well. I will miss Marc. And every time there's a new gadget going forward I will think about what he would have thought, if he were still with us.

Thanks for that great speech James. It was very touching. We will all miss Marc.
