Re: Prayers for Al Mark
 

So sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers to the entire Mark family. I asked him at this years Allstars banquet what he liked more: Competing with friends and racers in the Allstars and D-1 or as a professional skeet competitor......He reflected and said the money was better in skeet and he got to do it with his wife. The perfect answer from a very good man.

I am truly at a loss for words, Al was always there as a friend and person that could always be counted on through thick and thin. We talked a lot during our cancer treatments and he always lifted me up and I hope I did the same during his battle. So sad to beat the odds and have this happen. God Bless you Al, RIP. May strength be with you Shirley, our prayers are with you and Al at this very unforeseen and very unfortunate time.

Very sad news. I knew Al long before he bought a race car, from skeet shooting. He was one amazing skeet shooter, believe me! Very nice guy, so friendly, always had time to talk to anyone. RIP Mr. M.

Re: Prayers for Al Mark
 

Blair and I always looked forward to seeing Al at the races and we enjoyed parking next to him. Al was amazed that I was usually the one behind the steering wheel of our tow vehicle. Al especially enjoyed telling the guys at Diamond RV to watch this as I was the one who drove our new to us motor home out on the road for the first time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Shirley and family. May God give you the comfort, guidance and strength to face the difficult days ahead.

Your Canadian friends,

Blair and Marilyn MacDonald

Re: Prayers for Al Mark
 

that's just the kind of guy Al was. I can remember many times when he offered his race car for me to use, when mine was broken. he would give you the shirt off his back to help if he could.

Re: Prayers for Al Mark
 

Rest in Peace Al .You must have told me more than fifty times over the years that I was your hero when in fact it should have been the other way around .You were a wonderful step-dad , a terrific husband to Shirley , a super businessman , a racer who was well respected by his peers , a real gun guy and a card player who just loved what he was doing . Anyone who ever looked at your brite red '69 Camaro A/SA big block car would know you loved cars .

We'll miss you pal ............
