I sure miss my long-time friend, Marcus. I used to call him every couple of months just to talk and catch up. Today I had lunch with another friend that we used to work with, Don Muscolino, and we talked fondly of Marcus for several minutes.
Whenever I think of Marcus, I automatically think of Cheryl and Lynn, and their families.
Marcus had a beautiful, loving family and I know they miss him greatly.

Marcus was a great friend and a true Southern Gentleman. Marcus and I started working together in early 1970 at the Burroughs Corporation branch office in Augusta, GA and continued our close friendship throughout the years. We will all certainly miss Marcus.
