I knew Mark as the brother of Graham though my sister Sharon, Was great spending 3or 4days with Mark, at the Taupo Supercars last year sharing stories and a shared love of cars truck driving and racing, With us both having careers in truck driving, he was great to share a drink with and have a great chat. While i can't be at his funeral our thoughts and hearts are with are with his family, especially his son Dean. Sending best wishers and support during this tough time. Best wishes and support to Marks family from Larry and the Kells family.
