Terrible news to find out about.
Just a genuine and sincere person and one whom everyone who ever met him had a positive story about how wonderful and down to earth he was. RIP Mark.

This is very sad news. I counted Mark among my pipe community friends. He will be greatly missed.
May his family and friends find peace and comfort in remembering his life.
May his memory be eternal.

What a gut punch. Rest in Peace, Mark. You were a true pioneer, visionary, and maverick in the world of tobacco. Damn.

the silver lining is that it sounds like he got a lot of living crammed into a short amount of time.

Well, that is some terrible news. Wishing the family the best.

Very sad news. Had he been ill for some time or was it sudden? May he rest in peace.

I somehow missed this post a few months ago and saw someone on fb share the article. I am very sad to hear this. I loved hearing his stories and what he did keeping Perique alive.

Rip Mark!
