This is tragic. He's a very accomplished developer with some great projects to his name (Washington's Landing, Summerset at Frick, etc). I didn't know him very well, but he was a very nice man.

I spent some time with him years ago on a bike trip as his then girlfriend and my wife were good friends. Nice guy, to be sure.

Eerily similar to what someone said after the Aurora shootings. Live your dreams because you don't know how much time you have left.

Mark Schneider's name was very prominent around here twelve to fifteen years ago as head of the Sports and Exhibition Authority. He was front and center as plans for stadiums and North Shore were being developed.

I can't say I knew him well either, but I did meet him on site on a number of occasions. Yes, nice guy. Very sad news...
