Catering by Mark Wischhusen

Happy Centennial Birthday to the one, the only, the original Lucille! A beautiful woman, a loving and much-loved wife, mother of four amazing children, grandmother and great-grandmother, beloved of the legions of friends she and Eric and those kids and grandkids acquired. Gone from among us but never forgotten. No doubt a gin martini or two will be hoisted in loving memory! Happy birthday, Luce!

Thank you to everyone who came by Chez Guevara to celebrate Mark's life. It was wonderful to see and meet so many people from the different phases and eras of Mark's life, and to know he was so loved. We hope everyone had as great a time as we did! And please continue to feel free to post any photos and memories of Mark on this page - we'll keep it going for a while yet.

Our hearts are heavy with news of the passing of Kelly Kirkland Townsend, one of Mark's very best friends. Kelly set this page up and maintained it for Mark. After his death, and in the face of her own illness, she transferred the page to me (Rusty Burke, Mark's brother-in-law). Mark, and many others who had known her for years, loved Kelly deeply, and I know that includes many of you who visit this page. Kelly's husband, Russ, has posted news at her page.

Shelly found these photos of Mark and Kelly Kirkland Townsend. Kelly thinks they were dressed for the Men's Cotillion, maybe about 1983.

Here's Mark at Lucille's, apparently training a couple of underage bartenders. I wonder where that painting behind him ended up?
