My memories of Mark are from our early years , when we both attended the Boys Brigade in South Woodford together .

We did a lot at the same time together I remember the camping trips the Duke of Edinburgh award and of course the Isle of Wight youth camp every year where we were both in the same group.

The Boys Brigade gave us pride in ourselves it gave us respect and kindness towards other people.

Even though I never knew Mark in later years I am sure he was excellent at his job showed care and kindness and respect to people.

I really wish I had met him in later years and had a catch up put the world to rights.

Mark you have my respect mate.

God bless rest in peace mate.

Best wishes

Ian
