Super family, all of them, I think Mark had two sisters. I spent time with Don doing real estate deals and helping him buy and restore cars. At my ripe age of 20ish I can honestly say Don was instrumental in providing the motivation a kid needed to shoot for the stars. He was that mentor for me. This was a blow to hear about Mark and also that Don had passed. RIP
