Proverbs 10 v 7 The memory of the righteous will be a blessing. I know that those of us who knew and remember Marcus will be blessed by the life he lived. Blessings on you, Sparky. From Barbara, with love.

Marcus was a vey special man, he was gentle, thoughtful and kind. He had a gift for all things mechanical, which he applied to the restoration of special motor cars. to which would give all of his time when helping others. His faith was his great strength, and while he did not attempt to disagree with those who did not share his beliefs, it was forever constant in his own thoughts. May he Rest in the Peace he so rightly earned. Denis and Jean Hollingsworth

My partner and I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus in the summer of 2015 when we traveled to the UK from the USA. He was my father's cousin. It was such a wonderful trip to meet ancestors we had heard about but never met. Marcus and Sparky, and John and Ruth were so kind and warm to us and made us feel like part of the family very quickly. John and Marcus took us to Sidmouth and we so enjoyed that experience with them. It was a wonderful trip. We will never forget you Marcus. May you rest in peace forever. Til we meet again, the angels I'm sure will take care of you. God bless! Rick Ward and Harrison Carmichael, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
