gwalchmai Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 No offense to anyone here, but I'll say Okie was the nicest guy I ever met on GlockTalk. He always called everyone "Friend" and he meant it. He was a hell of a guy. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to take my word for anything. Unless it's in my professional field, it's my opinion, and yours is just as good as mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect you all. BUT! Okie was up off the scale as a gentle, good person. He left a legacy that many would be proud to have.

tous Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I met with Mark many times and as others have noted, he was well met. As others have noted, Mark was one of the nicest people that I have ever met and yes, he could tear up a buffet like no one else. I am honored to have known him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeorge Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 I like to think that he gets to drive his dodge truck shooting and to the buffet every day while listening to Abba on his 8 track player 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
