I debated whether to post when Mark died, and decided not to for a while, out of respect for his family. However, I was always intending to, but am glad that Rich has done so, and has written such kind words. Mark and I went storm chasing 3 times to the USA, and he was to join us in 2004, but his illness meant he had to pull out at the last moment. He was confident of overcomming the cancer, and had been making good progress. However, he took a sudden turn for the worse in September, and died in October. This was a shock to myself, who had always imagined we would be making our annual US storm chasing trip for many years. He was a great friend, and we would chat about storms, snow, and weather in general for ages! He will be sorely missed. Paul. |
