Mark, In addition to the fun times we had at VFHS in 1973, I will need to add the photo of you from our year book that captured your wonderful smile and laughter during a biology experiment you were doing with Craig Adams and our good friend from Stroud Elementary, Ben Cherry.

Mark,
P.S.,
After further thought, in regards to Brian Carr's compliment on your Coach Bolton's imitation, I would like to send my extreme appreciation of your "Donald Duck" imitation that is second to none!

Mark,
I regret that I missed your passing and am getting back to you at such a late date.
I recall the fun times we had playing baseball behind Stroud Elementary School.
I recall the scarry times we had hitting cars with snowballs and bumper riding during the winters we were at Pleasant Valley Junior High School.
I recall the crowds we sat in and cheered during the Valley Forge Football Games in Byers Field.
I am so very thankful seeing you at both the 30 year VFHS Reunion in 2003 and you at our 50th Birthday Party in 2005 at Carrie Cereno's Restaurant. It was a joyful celebration.
I am so verry sorry I have lost track of you since those days but look forward to being with you again.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

As I sat here last night thinking of friends from the past, you came right to my mind. I decided to look you up only to find that you have crossed over to the other side. Mark, I don't know what happened but I hope you didn't suffer. The condolences are beautiful and so true. You were one of a kind. The world was blessed having you here. I hope the bagpipes were playing when you arrived... Loved you more than you ever knew. Rest in peace sweetheart! Until we meet again....JoAnn

As one of your childhood friends you were always funny and you had s great laugh. We spent a lot of time together and I saw you grow up, get married and have your son Mark Jr.
We had great times at Stroud and PV more especially. You did t hee best impression of Mr. Bolton ever.
We got together over the holidays last year and you looked the best I had ever seen you. You told me you were working out almost every day and you were looking forward to retirement and moving to Florida to be with your mom.
You were a grear guy, a great friend and one of thee funniest people along with a very contagious laughs I have ever heard.
Smile on my Friend

I remember Mark from a long time ago when we were all teenagers growing up in the Parma area together.
Mark was just one of those people that made everything that much better just by being there, and a really genuine "nice guy".
Perhaps a little known fact to those who knew him later on in life was that Mark was hands-down the fastest sprinter I ever knew, and we joked about it regularly.
Lifes twists and turns took us in different directions, and we lost track of each other.
Like so many others with wonderful memories of Mark and his unique style, I grew so much older when I learned of his passing.
God Bless Mark and his Family during this difficult time.
