In memory of Mark

My grandson and I were lucky enough to meet Mark at last year's Origami Convention in New York.  It's our first time there and Colin my grandson, age 7,  was one of the youngest participants.  Mark gave him lots of attention and love--showing him how to fold these two hats.  We were just eating in the cafeteria!  Colin remembers him well and can say Mark's full name without prompting.  Actually I wasn't sure and had to look it up.  Indeed, he was correct.  Thank you, Mark for touching Colin's life!  You would be missed!

It’s very sad to hear of Mark’s passing. I was fortunate in my younger years to be able to travel to the US from London, for 1 or 2 conventions including OUSA and PCOC, and I was blessed to meet him there.   He immediately demonstrated his kind loving nature and his character of sharing. From giving away loads of his handmade origami badges (which my mum wears all the time with her Saris) to giving away photocopies of diagrams he had collected over time.   I will miss his fun, loving qualities and I pray he will rest in peace.   Vignesh Cumareshan (London, British Origami Society) ------------------------------------------------------------- Notice of Confidentiality: The contents of this e-mail and any attachments are confidential and copyright to HCA International and may also be privileged.

Hi Mark

Hi Mark I started bringing my nieces to the convention when they were about 8 years old. (They are 22 now)  It became a tradition to buy a pin or two from you at each convention.  When they were young, they would ask to go see the "Pin Man".   This is a photo of Kristen and Courtney at the last convention they attended at Manhattan College. We are all sending happy thoughts your way.
