To all the members of this site,

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of bankcollector (mark mills to many of you) this past Friday morning (Jan. 19th) after a 3.5 month fight.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mark for almost 20 years and talked to him nearly everyday. Through those years I've gotten to know mark quite well and was honored to call him friend.

This site was one of his passions and he tried to get new members whenever he could. I bet many of you started on this site because of mark. Mark got me involved with a challenge, "tell me how the point system works on the site" using my math and physics degree against me. But it worked (took me 3 days but i gave him the answer). He loved the site so much that he was still going onto it while he was in hospital.

I know mark has touched many people's lives over the years and there are sure to be many stories out there. I thought it might be nice to share some of those stories to honor marks memory.

I'll start with one that sticks out in my mind and that is mark loved the song candyman by Christina aguelera. He would always blare that on our trips out to the dundurn military base.

I look forward to hearing other stories. I thank all those who left footprints in mark's life. Rest assured that he is now watching us from his cloud in the sky.

Mike
