I was informed of the passing of Mike Marcinek, he passed away at his Weikert cabin, this bring a close to a very large figure in our area. Mike's voice was very distinctive and carried long distances, you could tell he was around even if you did not see him. Very active in Scouts, teaching young children and TU, he would give of himself for anyone who needed a hand or wanted to learn. I remember him 40 years ago going with us on the Loyalsock and him climbing down a very steep bank, it was fun to watch till he give me hell for picking a spot like that to fish but we all caught fish that night!
Perhaps the best way to remember him is to think of the following, "Ginger Quill", I could hear him say that every night in May just before dark- put it on they are on that.
He was a gentle giant in every way except of the football field, there he was a very good lineman.
Gone but not forgotten.
