***********************

I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Mark, we both seemed to come up through the ranks at the same time and we were paired up together at clinics and workouts, often at Master Bragues. He always made me want to work harder ( knowing I may have to face him in the ring) and was the type of martal artist you would want as a fellow student and as a teacher. Although I havn't been in touch with him or have seen him in a while, I'll miss him. He will definitely be in my prayers. It's never good-bye, just so long for now.
