Marc, I still remember the moment you died. We were in the police academy together and had just finished physical training on the football field. We were talking and you were cracking me up, as usual. You were such a genuine, funny guy and everyone liked you.

Then in the blink of an eye your eyes rolled back, your skin took on an ashen color and you collapsed. We performed CPR for thirty minutes, but you were gone. We were all so shocked at your loss.

You were 23, married with a baby at home, and an aneurysm bursting took all of you from us. It's been 45 years. You'll never be forgotten.
