I am sorry to tell everyone that Roadman (Mark) passed last Monday.  I know he had many friends here that will miss him.  I am one of them.  May he rest in peace.  :andyangel:

That's all I know right now.  If I get more information I will post it.

Murray called me tonight and told me that Mark had died and it took me a minute to process the reality of it. Murray, Doug and I met Mark and his mate Jim in Florida last year as we were going to the Mecum auction and I'm glad for the time we had to quaff a few pints in his shop as he showed us Jim's amazing Challenger, that he and Jim had built. He was, as Murray has said, a good old boy and he welded that personality to the extremely talented builder/fabricator side of his personality. He was an easy man to like and there was no pretension nor bullshit to him. I liked him a lot and will, as many here have testified, miss him. Go with God Mark.  :(

Bother I'm honored to call you a friend, may you rest easy.  Thanks again for the light kit, I'm sure you know now I held up my end of the deal. Just wish you could have seen it.  :andyangel:
Title: Re: Roadman
Post by: Chryco Psycho on June 06, 2018, 08:54:36 PM
 This is very sad , You will be remembered Mark
I got to meet him at Carlisle a couple of years back & I talked to him on the phone a couple of times just before the stroke .
I know he was asking about a cart or wagon to get around at Carlisle this year , I told him we would modify a Radio flyer wagon to get him around if needed .
Great guy to hang out with !!
Honestly I expected this  unfortunatley & it does not make the news any easier to take but he seemed to be getting much weaker very quickly .
RIP My friend  :andyangel:

Post by: 72 Challenger on June 07, 2018, 05:03:57 AM
With the posts that he had moved to rehab awhile back I was expecting more positive news in this thread.

What a loss for our e-bodies community. I never met him, but I have read and followed his advice on here and CC for ages. One of the many members who I trusted with sound advice, tips and tricks.

I'm thankful that he was a good guy who wanted to share his knowledge without wanting anything in return. It's certainly a sad moment but I prefer to think of how lucky we all are to have know him even if it was just through an online car community. It's a reminder that although it's just a few key strokes on a screen we can still be a family. 

RIP Roadman!

Wow! This was a gut punch... A loss like this is never easy. I thought it would be appropriate to share a bit of Mark's humor via a section of email correspondence we had. Of course, I am changing/removing his personal information.

    Hi Mark,

    Your package arrived today. I opened it and was blinded by that Florida sunshine! That felt great!

    Everything is in good condition, but I usually ask that paper towels are not to be used for packing material. I usually prefer fresh crisp one hundred dollar bills be crumpled and used instead. They retain their shape much better and provide more protection than paper towels. Maybe next time.... LOL!

    Thanks again for this part and the sunshine. Much appreciated.

    Jim


Hi Jim,
            Sorry, but I have so many of those pesky hundreds I just use them for toilet tissue. 

Hope that switch finds a great home in a great Mopar. Would have never let it go if our car was #s match.

Ever get down this way look us up. Phone 407 361 ####.

Thanks,

The joy of these forums are the "brotherly" connections made with our common bonds.
Did not know him but he is now in good hands for eternity.
The sad  of these forums is the cumulative loss we all have. Duty of remaining is to continue the greatness he was a part of.

I think Mark lived life as he chose & after his stroke he wouldn't have been able to do that....   I know we grieve & he will be missed but I also honestly believe he wouldn't have like living with the restrictions he would have had after his stroke.....   
I think many of us likely feel the same way... I know I do....
He enjoyed helping others but I'm guessing he never wanted to feel like he was a burden, no matter that any of us would have happily been there for him, he wouldn't have wanted that.... I could be wrong... But somehow I don't think I am....

If someone thinks this is inappropriate say the word, I'll delete it....

I think you are right on. When I was down there in January he would lightly grumble a bit about his health issues at that time and that was well before his stroke. At the same time it was hard to tell he was dealing with some troubles. He wore it well and like you say, he didn't want to be a burden.

I think you are right on. When I was down there in January he would lightly grumble a bit about his health issues at that time and that was well before his stroke. At the same time it was hard to tell he was dealing with some troubles. He wore it well and like you say, he didn't want to be a burden.

I agree. He and I had talked about this many times. Better to go quickly than sitting around waiting helplessly for it to happen.

I don't know who you two are calling old but they're likely not going to be too happy with you if they find out!  :rofl:

I think Mark lived life as he chose & after his stroke he wouldn't have been able to do that....   I know we grieve & he will be missed but I also honestly believe he wouldn't have like living with the restrictions he would have had after his stroke.....   
I think many of us likely feel the same way... I know I do....
He enjoyed helping others but I'm guessing he never wanted to feel like he was a burden, no matter that any of us would have happily been there for him, he wouldn't have wanted that.... I could be wrong... But somehow I don't think I am....

If someone thinks this is inappropriate say the word, I'll delete it....

Your probably spot on. Even though I didn't know Mark I feel the same way as you described.
I've come to have some medical issues over the past couple years, COPD,High blood pressure occasional dizzy spells. Part of getting older.
And no I wouldn't want to be a burden on my family or friends either or live the rest of my life not being able to do for myself what I want.

"To live in minds we leave behind is not to die" is very appropriate. Celebrate his life.

Got to know Roadman over the phone.  He went out of his way to look at a Cuda for me.  Saved me from a few bad purchases. 

Rest in peace brother.

Like the quote "To live in minds we leave behind is not to die"
An appropriate tribute to the man.
We of course all get old eventually (still cant't believe I am in my mid 60's.)
I put my car away in 1984 and just took it out of storage to work on it three years ago.

Take the best care of yourself as possible and do what you enjoy for as long as you can!
Time is fleeting  :cheers:

I did not know Roadman but he sure sounds like a great guy. I do know from personal experience how your entire life can change in a matter of seconds. So enjoy every second of it because sooner or later it comes to an end.

Agree as I do as well.
He was helping me thru some electrical gremlin issues just before he passed.
Did not know him personally but he was going out of his way for me...

Class act!
The good memories live forever.

I was in Florida in 17 and 18. Met with him and @ToxicWolf (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/toxicwolf_30) both times. Roadman loved electrical stuff. That was his baby. And he loved to help people out. @YellowThumper (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/yellowthumper_324) you need to know that if you called out to him for help then you helped to make his last days a little better.

March 15th 2020 was the 2 year anniversary of Roadman being last active and we're coming up 2 years since his death.  Sometimes I see a post and think he would get a kick out of it.  Sure hopes he knows how much we miss him.  He'll forever live on through the people he touched.  :rebelflag"   You can tell the quality of a person in how they help people they don't even know.  :rebelflag"  RIP @Roadman (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/roadman_17)

I respect the amount a person is missed when that person is no longer with us. It speaks volumes about them.
