Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do

He was a no nonsense type of guy, a person that I would have been proud to be by my side. He was tough, but I had a lot of respect for him. He will always be remembered.

As fellow Kajukenbo and Natural Spirit International brothers for the last 8 years, Marc held a special place in my heart. In both circles, he was highly regarded, and just as importantly, respected as the bad asp that he was. Marc, you will be missed but not forgotten!!
