Marc, I will miss you, my dear friend. I am sure you are in a good place now, but your passing away is a shock and feels far too early and far too sudden. It seems not so long time ago that we met in 1990, me, an exchange student from Holland, borrowing the room from Alison, to live together with you and John Millen for 4 months in a bungalow in London, Ontario, while studying at Western.
I still remember the warm welcome, how I felt immediately accepted, our great long discussions, Manuela coming over to make us pasta and the guitar playing and singing afterwards. It was the period of time that you fell in love with Susan, still remember her coming over to our place, young, intelligent, well informed and always with a big smile. We graduated, you in Canada and I in Holland and time traveled fast.
I remember coming over with the family to London and meeting Graydon and Hudson, two great bright young boys with lots of energy and humor. In occasions, we met with our families, I always felt like we catched up immediately, the beautiful thing of good friendship, there is no erosion of it by time.
Marc, I will miss you and regret we were not able to meet more often. Your friendship enriched my life and I am grateful for that. I wish Susan, Graydon, Hudson and the family strength through these hard times and we will be there for them whenever needed.
