As MD of a large group I worked under pressure so it was always a pleasure to see Marks cheeky smiling face. Always good company and would do anything to help others like the winter night he rescued me when I had a flat tyre.

Growing up was full of adventures and never a dull moment for my brother Paul and I up at the farm, we spent a lot of time with Mark and our other cousins due to our strong family connections more than most, he was just like a brother to me. Our mums were sisters and our dads were brothers, we would spend most of our weekends and school holidays together, when we had to leave we would conjure up schemes to prolong the inevitable, Mark was the one full of great ideas one being putting a banana into my dads exhaust, we thought it was genius but couldn’t be said for the grown ups. I remember going to the farm one day and was told that they had just got a sheep called Bert, it was a female who would just walk into the lounge, Mark said to me that I should stroke it to which I did, he didn’t tell me that it was a nasty piece of work who had a unhealthy hatred for females in the human variety, being chased and tupped, running for dear life wasn’t what I was expecting! These were the type of things Mark loved to do, anything for a laugh but you couldn’t be annoyed with him, his infectious smile got him off most of his pranks. Now I live in Cumbria I would often see Mark on his bike as he loved to ride through Kirkby Stephen, before I saw him I would hear him shouting ‘little cuz’ I would then see that gorgeous smile with that twinkle in his eye followed by a hug which he gave the best ever. He had a soft spot for my girls and they to him, he always made them laugh they used to call him Uncle funny Mark which was quite appropriate, always full of fun and laughter. We will all miss you so so much Mark, you were one of the best, taken away from us far too soon. You are now with your loved ones who have preceded us. Thank you Mark for all the wonderful memories we have shared and will continue making more when we meet again! Joanne xxxx
