A wonderful well loved local who worked for Watermark many years has died. Mark could be seen piloting the Watermark barge around the lake and occasionally for a few social events. He will be missed by so many including some forum regulars. RIP Mark

Mark was a great guy, and certainly one of the funniest guys I have ever known. My family grew up with him in Lynnfield, we went to the same Church. I graduated with his sister Jill, and my sister graduated with Marks older brother Paul. Thanks to facebook, Jill and I are still good friends.

Funny story, several years ago I worked as a restaurant mgr in Nashua. One day a job application comes across my desk. As soon as I realized that it was the same Mark Goodwin that I grew up with, he was hired immediately. I can still picture this kid, who was well over 6' tall with his long legs skipping, yes skipping through the dining room, just to make people laugh.

What a great guy, and he will be missed by many many people.
