I always looked forwards to meeting Mark, especially at meals to mark celebrations e.g. someone's birthday or return from journeys abroad or after lunchtime shows and concerts.Mark was well travelled and had many stories of his and John's holidays and adventures. He was John's beloved friend and travelling companion.Mark was also a cheerful,kindhearted and often hilarious friend to so many of us. He was also great for holiday,financial and other advice. Gone so suddenly,he will be greatly missed. My prayers and best wishes with you Mark. Greg.
