Whenever we lose one, the "sphere" loses far more than a vlogger or tweeter/gabber ... it loses that man or woman's personal space, his/her home and please wipe your feet before entering.
Anna's home
Our mutual love was not so much LVT, it was cows:
The last one is still this side of the Styx, as we are ... for how much longer will any of us be about, to be maudlin about it? Personally, I avoid funerals and weddings like the plague, I might not even send anything ... probably won't. It's truly not disrespect ... it's just too close for comfort.
I knew Mark from his own site and briefly at OoL, plus he's a Scriblerus ... that's in present tense as no one passing over leaves Scriblerus, you have to get out before. 😎
He did have a connection with OoL:
Mark was also a sketcher of no mean skill:
And music was his thang as well:
Politically, he and I did not see eye to eye on many things but as Mr. Hall says below, he was quite a guy, as a person. He'll be badly missed, sadly missed, by many. RIP Mark.

You might have trouble commenting over there … doesn’t seem to be working. We’ll do a post tomorrow, not right now. Need to talk to Julia first.

[Sackerson] Shocked, so sorry to read. Please convey my sincere condolences.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame...
ReplyDelete[formertory] Seeing the announcement on Tim Worstall's blog was a real shock to me. In recent times I'd kept occasional track of Mark's blog writings and had wondered about the lack of contributions from him. I admired his determination to chase things down - climate change, f'instance and of course, LVT (he convinced me, anyway!). His intelligence was clearly formidable as was writing skill. Very best wishes to his family and friends.
