I am so sorry to hear about Mark. I have such fond memories of our conversations talking about music. He was such a gentleman too. When it rained he would be outside the door at RMG waiting with his umbrella to take each of us ladies to our car. Pat, I am sending my sympathy and prayers to you.

I was a co-worker of Mark's. He worked on first shift and I work on 3rd. He worked at the doors near me. He always spoke in the morning and always had something nice to say every morning. What a great gentleman. He will be missed truly.
