Mark was always kind and helpful to me. He taught me how to locate and was a very understanding manager! He gave me a piece of a plant of his and told me "You can't kill this plant!" And he was right, I still have it after all these years and a house full of it's babies. I miss him, it's hard to find good people in this world. I hope he's having fun with Mike and his family!
