Shocked to read when my Croton Gazette reached Florida. A real good friend growing up. A kind soul from a kind family. Mark will be missed.
Andy and I enjoyed the way Mark laughed, smiled, and generally brought joy into everyone’s life. He helped both of us with Aikido and was so good with the children. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
So sad to find this.
Mark was a great Friend of the Gerhardt family.
