Bits and Pieces: Print Requiem For Mark Smith

Mark Smith could be a tough guy to deal with, and as the cancer continued to wear him down during the past six months, tolerating his irascible side wasn't easy. That the cancer impacted his speech only compounded communication issues. He deserves a pass on those final six months. I'd hate to think how tough it would be to put up with me under the same circumstances. But he came to work virtually every day. Mark wasn't about to let dying interfere with his day-to-day activities.
