Marc's passing still hasn't sunk in for me. His presence is still all over my phone messages and email inbox. I am still seeing news stories etc. and thinking that I'll send it to him or " I wonder what Marc thinks about this" .
I first met Marc nearly 30 years ago and have been in regular contact ever since. Being more of a sulky introvert I was surprised by Marc's openness and that he was so friendly with everyone. Any one was welcome to come over to Marc's apartment . He was always very interested and tolerant of other people and I think learnt from him to be more so myself.
Since then I have enjoyed years of friendship that have been sadly brought to an end. He was so kind to me, even helping me with job applications and always offering me a place to stay when I was in London. He was always so keen to meet for beer and curry that he would rush from airports and business meetings and I am so sad that it isn't going to happen anymore.
Marc was some one that I looked up to and went to for advice and he was also always one for looking adversity in the face and getting on with life the best he could. I find this thought comforting as I try to do the same.
