My old friend Mark Hecker died last Wednesday. Mark was an artist who worked with me at Lockheed. He did web design and if you remember seeing banner ads from the late 1990s then you remember Mark. He produced thousands of them. Mark was also the art director for National Lampoon Magazine and Hustler Magazine. He had an incredible collection of images that wound up on the cutting room floor at Hustler.
Mark was one of smartest, wittiest and nicest guys that I ever worked with. In recent years we have grown apart.
The last time I saw him, he showed me pictures of the little girl that he and his wife had adopted from China. She was beautiful and smart and Mark loved her very much. I hate wakes and funerals. It will be painful to go to this one.
