Listening to Pink Floyds the wall and thinking of you Mark.
So sorry to hear of Marks passing. He was a sweet guy . Mark and I grew up together in New Providence, NJ. My condolences to his family.
Wendy, I’m so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know your husband, but I saw how your face would light up when you talked about him at work. God bless you and your family.
Mark: You’ve gotta find the silver lining
Me: I don’t see one
Mark: Then we’ll have to make one …
Mark a truly remarkable man that it is my honor to have known. Wendy, I pray that you and your family can find comfort in knowing that we are all here for a season and that a piece of Mark lives on in each life that he’s touched. Thank you for sharing him. May GOD continue to bless and protect your family.
Mark was a gentle soul who cared about people – all people. He exemplified what it meant to be a caring person. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was simply a nice, giving person. I hadn’t seen him in several years; however, I will always remember his gentle, charitable nature. God bless Mark and his entire family.
Keeping you in my prayers .
Our hearts go out to the family. With deepest sympathy. Sarah & Chuck Carlson.
We will miss Mark’s cheerful presence, happy positive attitude, and wonderful friendship. We’ll see you Sunday!
Anyone who loved old cars loved Mark. It was a subject we always had time for and I know that somewhere, even now, he is at a great car show taking pictures. We’ll miss him but trust that the family will follow in his footsteps – let the car clubs be your extended family forever.
Every Tuesday afternoon at 3.30pm Mark would stop by my desk on his way to a meeting just to say “helloooo”. I will truly miss seeing him.
