Doyle’s day out shooting
Mark with Tinker the puppy, aged 4 months
I have a favourite photo of you, so went searching for it in the album upon learning you’d passed away...it’s a black and white photo of you and your beloved Tinker as a 4 month old puppy. I remember playing with you both for hours when I was a child, which make for some of my best childhood memories.
We always looked forward to your visits back to Langham in the UK and are so sad that we never got to Florida to see you as planned.
Wishing we could be all together at this time.
You will be greatly missed by all, but your kind heart and amazing smile will be remembered always. xxx R.I.P All our love Anthony & Megan xxx

Mark wasn't dressed for the races, so him and Darren went fishing instead.

I fed the fish for you xxx
He claimed his outrageous dress was to allow his beloved family in England to see him on the web came when he was getting on ( or off) the boat.
He was a kind and caring man, and I will miss him. Blessings and peace to his family and all who loved him and miss him.
