I may not of realised it until the the end, but Mark played a massive part in my life. He took me away sea fishing so many times as a kid with Micky pardoe and grandad, went to Wolves away games with Martin Wright and Tunner... I've got so many special memories I will treasure forever...then the carpet businesses, from waring and gillow, factory carpets, trio and ABC I've worked with him for year's and years. Mark taught me so much and I'm so grateful, I'm writing this now with tears in my eyes, but at least I did get to tell him I love him and thank him for being such a big part of my life...god bless you Mark, my 2nd dad XXX love you David, Lauren, Chloe, Sophie and David

Rest easy uncle Mark ❤ my memories of you are those in the carpet shop when I was little. Playing hide and seek amongst all the carpet rolls and being told off if I went near the furnace at the back! I also remember everyone laughing when you pinched paracetamol out the packet and put the empty box back on the shelf! I guess that's why they called you Shark? 😂 You were like a second Dad to my dad at times and that's something I will always admire you for. I will never forget your bravery until the very end. Every time I hear Jackie Wilson I smile and think of you. Goodnight, God bless Uncle Mark ❤ Lauren

Shark, ah kid we shared so many good times from childhood to working together for many years, I'm finding it difficult to write this ah kid but you will never be forgotten your loving brother Brian, love till we meet again 😪😪😪
