Mark A. Ward, a local landmark and my best friend for more than 50 years, passed away peacefully on November 15 at Cottage Hospital, a place he had worked as a security officer until just a few weeks prior.

Mark and I became friends because of a shared interest in comedy and radio. We were members of the early ’70s comedy troupe The Fabulous DeLuxe Brothers, along with Richard Procter and Duff Kennedy.
