Sue & Family: As the years have gone by we haven't seen as much of eachother as we would have liked. Raising families and the daily hum drum of life takes over. I always enjoyed Marks company, his smerk when he busted my chops. He a power boater, me a sailor, both using our wonderful lake for different reasons, but with the same empthusiasm. Warm memories come to mind when I think of Mark, we will miss him, but never forget him.

Robin - I'm so sorry to hear about Mark. I just looked at the picture that Kim posted in the Guest Book. I was shocked that Mark hadn't changed much since we were kids on the school bus. Just like everyone else, he was just a little older. Jim and I are sorry for your loss. Hang in there and remember all the good memories you and your family had with Mark.

Whitney Family,

I was 4 years old when I met Mark and he has been a special friend ever since then. He was definitely a piece of work but who from our generation wasn't? My deepest sympathy goes to all of the loving Whitney family. We will miss Mark dearly! Kenn Bailey
