I never met Mark, except through his writing, which I always enjoyed. I liked his upbeat sense of humor and his in-the-moment style. I also appreciated Mark's comments about the pieces I wrote. Mark will be missed on our little writing group (The Banyan Tree).
My belated sympathies to his family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you. Hold onto the good memories you have of your Dad. I am asking God to be your comforter at this difficult time. Wish I could be there to give this sentiment in person.
My sincere sympathy to your whole family. I love you Sara and Matt! Aunt Janine

Mark was not only my boss, but he was my friend. He was very easygoing and had a great sense of humor. I learned a lot from him, and I will remember him always.

Many fond memories of Mark. We were childhood friends and spent many hours together. A very intlligent and worldly man. I'm sad to hear of his passing.
