To the Wagstaff family: Our sincere condolences to you all. We met Mark around the time he and Sandy started seeing each other, having known Sandy for many years. We were in attendance at their wedding. I always enjoyed talking with Mark as I am an auto enthusiast and own a classic car, and I know of his love of the classics and going to the Dream Cruise. He will be sorely missed by many
