Nick,
Like JimSTer said, sorry for your loss and ours. Met Mark at my first Moonshine and he helped me out with with a problem I was having with an aux fuel tank leaking. He had the tools and "HANDS" to get the rear shocks to stiffen up. Just last Sunday was cleaning up some shelves in the garage and came across a box of nichrome wire he sent me to put in a DIY heated vest postmarked Jan 5 2012, and thought about him and what he was doing these days.
The episodes Bug (who I am glad to see did not really fall off the earth) mentioned at the different Stoc events I did witness and he did not exaggerate at all, truly good times and he helped make them that way. When he stepped of that 1100 and tossed it like a toy I thought , glad he is on my side. He swung by the house to carry a spare seat I gave him back up north as He had trashed the one on the bike when he went dirt biking down that ditch. I will be saddened with the knowing he is not among us any more for he truly did have a pleasantly contagious personality about him and it was good to be around him. He will be missed.
