Today is April 15th and I just found out about the passing of Marc today as I have been away for the past year out west (California).
Marc and Intermarine was a client of mine for about 7 years, I produced tide charts that he advertised on. I can honestly say that although I saw him once every 6 months or so, he was always very nice and polite even though I was there to pick up payment for his advertisement.
He was always hands on, there were times when he would come in sweaty from being out on the dock, or helping out in the shop, very rarely was he sitting in the office.
Although I did not know him well, he seemed to be friendly with customers while I was there, I ran a business for 7 years, I read on these posts about mixed feeling about him and his brother, whom I never had dealings with so I have no opinion. But running a business can be quite stressful, and thats probably the best way to describe him when I entered his office. However, once again, he always treated me with a smile and respect.
He was a client for 7 years, I am very sorry he was mudered by some of the scum we call our residents.
I will always remember Marc as a kind and hard working man. Best to his family and children.
