We worked together at Dephi for Xerox. When he moved to Vandalia I would
often get to say hello and how are you as I live in Vandalia too. He was such a
wonderful person to know and work with. Polite, kind and so much more.
My heart sank when I read the obituary.

Mark and I were friends for many years. Vacationed in the Bahamas and were roommates for a time. What a huge loss. Great man. My sincerest heartfelt condolences. I´ll miss him.
