For those of you who remember him from A.O.'s heyday,
he was a constant poster as MWB.

I am shattered. I have been chumming around with Mark
online for YEARS now and teasing him and making jokes.
He played along with all of it. I would check in on
Facebook to see if there was something new I could tease
him about and he was not just a good sport, he enjoyed it.
Mark is without a doubt, one of the finest people I
have ever known online and I will mourn him for the
rest of my life. I am not kidding.

He was from Windham, Maine. He was the guy who
would go to the oil tankers and measure how much
was in the tanks before and after they started
pumping. All three sons and his daughter in law
served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and
he and I talked about it all the time. He would
lay awake nights.

Before that, he was crew on a Gulf of Mexico
tugboat and had a degree in Marine Science.
He originally was from a little town called Houlton
near Loring AFB in Maine next to the Canadian
border. He nearly died as a kid when he got run
over by a potato harvesting machine and was stuck
under it.

Oh, what a shame. Definitely one of the most familiar presences here.

There was no "notice." He did seem to mention he
felt he was declining and he was having joint pain
and so forth. Stuff seemed to be breaking faster
than it was fixing.

He died in his sleep sometime last night.

I'm in shock. I used to travel to Maine frequently and finally
managed to meet up with him on a few occasions. The last time I was
up there (last summer), we weren't able to make it work, and I
shrugged it off with, "Oh, well, catch you next time." There's a
lesson for us all there, I suppose.
