RIP Mark Raby

I understand from a post by Lisa Raby on Facebook that Mark has died.

I, for one will miss him.

Regards, Peter.

So very very sad .
Mark and I did several Finishing texturing and coloring courses together and it was always great fun.
Mark will be sadly missed by a lot of people.
RIP Mark

That is very sad news. Our thoughts go out to Lisa and family.

Mark and Lisa came to Cheam and we of course saw them both at the shows. They always had time to say hello and have a chat, as well as freely giving useful advice.

Coming on a day when I've been in a conversation with Karl Tickle, who is also terminal, this is especially sad news. Woodturning is a small world and the passing of a friend often touches many people.

thoughts with Lisa and the family.

Thoughts & sympathies to Lisa & family.

This is sad news to hear. Mark was one of my inspirations for colouring my work.

Another sad day for the woodturning community.

My thoughts are with Lisa
