[mr914]

I feel horrible for originating this thread. mark was a true 914 enthusiast and a valued member of this community.



May he rest in peace.


I started out my day wondering where an order I had placed a couple of weeks ago.

I started this thread "Is Engman parts still around?"

The details are not important, this post edited because of the news.

I had ordered some parts and paid via PayPal.

Today, I went to the cart section of the paypal website and I get the following message:

Engman Parts....

Error Message: This recipient is currently unable to receive money.

Got a PM from a Distinguished member of our community and forwarded it to the Admins for confirmation.

Any words of wisdom?

Unfortunately, the obituary Eric posted is accurate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I received the following email from a close friend of Mark's.

Hello Mark,

I'm Travis a close friend of Mark's for many years. Unfortunately I cannot deliver to you any good news. Mark Bland sustained a massive heart attack early in the morning on 10/18/2012 when his wife came and picked him up from work because he had complained of dizziness and headache. His wife Cindy performed CPR on Mark after his heart stopped. The ambulance was able to revive his heart, however, he went nearly 45 minutes without a heartbeat and his blood oxygen levels went critically low. Mark sustained catastrophic brain damage and later passed away on 10/25/2012 leaving his Wife Cindy, and 5 children, Mark, Sam, Katie, Julie, and Jennifer. I unfortunately do not have any contact information for his family which I am allowed to give out. I would advise sending any condolences to his old email address engman10@gmail.com . From what I understand his family does periodically monitor the account.
