It was great to have a Canadian friend in Holland at the start of our time at Martinair. Mark and I flew together on a regular basis and became good friends. Never a dull moment with Mr. Sparky. We called him Sammy because his eyebrows grew together at the top. He looked like Sammy in Cheers. He had the gift of the gab and was super positive. Our wives, Elizabeth and Mariette also became friends. it was a good time. Mark went back to Toronto and eventually Air Canada. I stayed on at Martinair. During a rare visit to Toronto I was able to come for a visit in Milton one evening. So glad I did. It was good to talk, hear what was going on and see Mark, Elizabeth and the girls. Even then he was upbeat and positive. Thank you for the good times, thanks for being a great friend.
