    Very sad. He was always pleasant to talk to on here and had some very cool experiences w ferraris and other Italian cars.


    May his memory be a blessing

    Tremendously sad to hear and I’m sorry for his family’s loss. Marc had a lot of great knowledge and stories, particularly shared in vintage. I’ll miss his posts and discussions.

    Uh, what a gut punch!!! I'm in shock.

    I first met Marc when I was working at Shelton Ferrari many years ago. Despite me being a young, poor nobody Marc wholeheartedly welcomed me into the local car scene with open arms and shared his infinite knowledge with me with a smile. He was one of the nicest, most gracious people I've ever met. Truly never had a negative word to say about anyone.

    Rest in peace my friend. If heaven has a track and great roads Marc is surely driving them with his idols as we speak.
