Default Corvette Forum lost a brother today...

Mark Podsiadlo, aka MYRagtop, aka ‘Wonder Bread’ passed away this morning after a short battle with cancer at the young age of 56.

Mark was a great guy who was always quick to lend a hand when ever needed or to drive halfway across the province for a fellow corvette guy or girl.

I’m proud to say that Mark was a good friend of mine and he’ll be missed very much.

Rest in peace buddy…….

Wow, very sad and shocked to hear this. Haven't seen Mark in awhile. Didn't know he was sick. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

The loss of Corvette brother (or sister) is never an easy reality of life no matter how much you prepare for the inevitable, let alone the unexpected.

Thoughts and prayers

He helped me with my trailer purchase. Took time out to drive north of Brockville, take pictures and get all the fine details to make sure it was all good.

Mark...definitely one of the good guys, and his smile and joy for living will be sorely missed.

Prayers to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace Mark.

I've known Mark "WonderBread" for many years and was saddened to hear of his battle with Cancer recently. As many of said, he was an amazing guy who helped so many people, including myself, he literally went out of his way. He will be greatly missed. We truly lost a great person way too early in his life.

Very sad to hear this news. I had purchased a few parts from Mark over the years and he even invited me up to his place to install a tunnel plate that was supposed to be a couple hour job, well I didn't leave his place until 8:30pm thanks to a rusted broken exhaust bolt, but he would not give up until my car was ready to be driven home.
May he now Rest In Peace

I was blessed to have met Mark 4 years ago when he opened his home and Garage for a header install weekend. Trully a class act. He and his big smile will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace my friend

R.I.P. Mark "Wonderbread" ... At one point, the ol' ICEDCAPP-mobile was acting up, and I took it over to Devon's shop, and before I had even arrived, Mark had offered to give me a ride back to Mississauga ... great guy with a HUGE heart ... will be missed!

Really sorry to hear, I first met Mark briefly about 6 years ago, as well as a couple more times here and there. Haven't seen him online in years as I heard he was really busy.

May he rest in peace.
