Description

Mark and I had a budding friendship when he died suddenly in May. The man I had thought was just a sales manager in an electronics store turned out to be a former rocker and a beloved member of the music community. His advice and personal care had been much appreciated by musicians including artists such as Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, Ringo Star, The Eagles, Pat Benetar, and Earth, Wind and Fire. For Mark, these were not just customers, they were friends. Mark was buried on May 13, 2012. There were over 400 people in attendance. We gave him a hell of a sendoff afterwards. Good food, good drink and live music.
