It is with great sadness to find out about the passing of my old friend, taken way too young. I’ve known Mark since the early 1970s, back when we were just kids growing up in Burnaby. Often getting into trouble together and both having a love of electronics we hit it off as friends, and even though we didn’t see each other often when we did reconnect from time to time we always had a good laugh about our time as kids as well as the torment we put his poor little brother John through. Mark was the Electronics guy for our band as you can see by his trusty soldering gun in the photo. I will always remember those days with deep appreciation for the friendship we had.

I was just talk8ng about you last night. You had invited nto Osaka's for your Bday many times and as I live so far out.

I could not make it, its my Bday on thirsday and I made reservations for there and was talking to Manager about you.

I will have a saki for you Pal,I did not realize you had passed or when you had passed until sometime last year when I yried to get a hold of you, to stop by for a game of crib.

Now I know when So thinking of you .

   Cheers,
  Michael

I am stunned I feel an emptiness inside me Mark was a fellow alarm buddy we met in the 90s at coconuts and shared a lot music low Voltage computers etc I got to bump into him at Tim Hortons shortly before he passed I will truly miss him and hanging out at his house talking about electronics. 

It is with deep regret that this news has come to me, was trying to get a hold of Mark to stop by his house and challenge my favorite Crib player to a best out  of three. 

I have known Mark for almost 40 yrs and I will miss him ,he was a Good Friend and a Good Man.

I only found out of his passing yesterday after calling his Cell and landline phone both lines are disconnected.

Then I googled his name and here I am.

My Sincere Condolences John for your loss.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you want to, if I can be of any assistance.

My email is on file with this  Communication.

It is with a great deal of shock and sadness to hear about the passing of Mark.  I just learned of his passing today from Garry at 
TJ Security.  
Mark was an exceptional security and audio technician and helped us with his resourcefulness at the Marine Pub on many occasions.  He also installed a state of the art  video and audio system when we built our new house.  
My wife Nancie joins me in offering our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear brother.
My he Rest In Peace.

Sincerely,
Derek Chung



Being that we were friends for a long time, I have a lot of  great memories of Mark most of which we may have been getting into a bit of mischief with the rest of the crew!



My brother and I shared a love of music.  Being with friends, enjoying a drink, and listening to music were some of the things my brother loved.  

Predeceased and loved by our parents, Guy and Margaret Boileau.  

Rest in peace, brother.  

John
