Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

Damn, I thought he was going to beat this. Guess Covid on top of everything else was just too much. Going to go pet the good girl I got from him last November. |

RIP I have no inside information, but it seemed to be an uphill battle from the beginning. That said, I had faith and prayed that he would pull through. Alas, it was not to be. God bless Mark, his family and all of those whose lives he touched and is still touching today through his faithful work with his dogs. |

I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

I'm sure going to miss talking to him. RIP Mark, you're one of the good ones. |

Very sad. Didn't know him but know he did a lot for dogs. What happened? I haven't been posting much lately but did a search and saw a thread back in April where he was apparently ill and the possibility of a fundraiser but didn't see anything else till this. I thought he was fairly young (may be wrong on that) RIP Joker1 |

Prayers for his family and for the dogs still waiting for a Joker1 to come along. He will be missed. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. |

I was very fortunate to adopt Luna and meet Mark in person in April of this year. I drove 1200 miles/18 hours and met Mark and Luna at a small park near his home. In spending just an hour in that park, I could sure feel how much he cared for all of his dogs. It is a honor to have met Mark in person, after only knowing him through his posts here. I missed out on several of the dogs that he had for adoption over the years, but feel very fortunate to have Luna. She gets plenty of Freedom Fries and will always be spoiled to the fullest on our adventures. Thank you Mark for entrusting me with Luna when I needed her the most. Semper Fi Dog Rescue!

Well shit that news sucks. I had the good fortune to meet Mark when I adopted Karmen late last year. He was a good dude and the world just got a little darker for both beast and man. |

Damn. I thought this whole thing was a mental health thing not a physical thing. Sorry to see him go. My condolences to his friends here. |
Slant brakes and long stroke pistons, copper washed bullets and warm Slav mittens, brown Beech handguards dipped in lacquer streams; these are a few of my favorite things.
