I met Mark Deal in DFW, Tx at a convention many years ago. I didn't realize he was the guy behind RPLS.com when I met him. I didn't know who he was until I walked away. Do you know how he passed? Advice I give to every new crew member.

from paden-cash:: Mark Deal. Mark had a sore on his back that wouldn't heal. His GP gave him some antibiotic ointment. The sore eventually healed to an extent. September of that year he came into the office with a hurt leg. He had jumped out of his truck and did something to his leg. He was quitting early that day because he wanted to have his leg looked at.

His leg hurt because the bone broke, weakened by osteosarcoma, probably originating in a melanoma and migrating to the bone. We went to his funeral in January.
