I am in tears. Mark was so close to me – in LU, then in Ricardo. When I was in posted in Les Ulis, France – I had to record train announcements in French and send it to Mark. He used to love France and was a fluent French speaker. When I was the CCS NoBo assessor on the NR Heathrow project, Mark was my project manager. I used to go to him for everything related to safety, assurance, project management and believe it or not – about my own marriage and relationship. My first knowledge on assurance came from Mark when he was in LU. On Victoria Line Upgrade project, we worked very closely. When I travelled and lived in Japan for three months, Mark was my first line of call on where to go in Tokyo, what to eat, which train to take. His wife being Japanese, Mark knew Japan quite in depth. When I left Ricardo, I lost touch with him. One of the reasons, I joined WSP was Mark. I wanted to work with Mark so badly. Unfortunately, when I joined WSP, Mark had left.
I always wanted to have long hair like you Mark. Now I have, but you are not here to see that. But don't worry, I will show it to you when we will meet again.
Today, I lost my mentor, my friend and one of my most trusted colleagues. Rest in Peace Mark. I never imagined in this damn life that I will have to write this line.
