I will not be able to match the words written by Pejman or Erick – and I don’t even want to try, really: I am very comfortable with having them speak for me in this matter. But I do wish to add one thing. When I heard of the circumstances of Mark’s passing from this life, I was reminded of what VP Thomas Marshall said of Teddy Roosevelt:
Death had to take him sleeping- if he had been awake there would have been a fight.
Because that’s just how Mark rolls.
Note tense.
