It is with a broken heart I have to bear this awful news.

My father, the founder of OcUK and these great forums, passed away yesterday afternoon.

Some may know him as Mark, others Spie and others as boss at some point.

The news comes as a great shock as he leaves behind my step-mother, myself, my brother and baby sister.

He was a great man, who had strong beliefs, opinions and ideas. He did not let anyone get in his way of achieving his potential. This company was founded on his hard work and determination, as continues on today with those same principles.

He was a man who I held in high regard and looked up to him as a hero, as only a son could.

At this time, please share your good thoughts and memories.

I love you dad x

So sorry to hear that mate, my dad died of cancer just over a year ago.. nothing compares to losing a parent, especially a Dad.

Very sad news :(
Mark inspired me into photography and I met him a few times at some early OcUK track day events, where he gave me a passenger ride in his Radical around Donington and Oulton Park. That was an awesome experience !!

R.I.P
