As a student in the early 80's, I was living with Gayle Weigand and her late mother Genevieve on Herkimer. Marc-Jon was working at the OTB on Grant St and was a frequent visitor. I'd say it was our shared passion for theater that cemented our friendship. Fiddler on the Roof, Romance/Romance, Dames at Sea, the countless revues and Christmas shows we did with a revolving cast of performers, crew and musicians are cherished memories. Whether while he was living on Normal, Park, West Ferry, Black Rock or Kenmore or where I was in Buffalo, San Francisco or New York we were always in touch. I'm glad I was able to occasionally join him and Lori Jacobs-Crawford on a their Monday 2:00PM coffee date. I'll forever remember the love and laughter at dinners with Paula Makar, John Schieber and so many other friends over the years. Rest in Power Mar-Jon, I will never forget you nor the influence and contributions you have made in my life. My condolences to all effected by his passing. Edju/Edge
