Durlach Family:
We extend our deepest sympathies to the loss of a great man. I remember Buddy very fondly and always enjoyed my time with him. A great experience I had when I was a youngster helping bring back the trawler from Miami years ago. I know that he will be missed by many, and many have been lucky to have known such an extraordinary man. Godspeed and fair winds Marc.

Marc, John and Durlach Family -
I was very sorry to learn of Marc's passing and to have missed the opportunity to pay my respects to him publicly. Marc generously gave me my start in commercial real estate and introduced me to the thrill of ocean sailing. He was always kind and supportive, and he will be missed on many fronts. I hope that faith, family and friends will support you through your time of grief.
