No, I just found out about Mark's death. I am so saddened, as Mark was such a sweet friend. He was a delightful human being. So kind, intelligent, inquisitive and humorous. I knew Mark in the early 90's when I moved to Dallas. Such a tragic loss.

Always the consummate gentleman with a bow tie to match, my brother Chris and I really enjoyed Mark's natural openness as well as his obvious kindness while we were all brothers together in Phi Kai Phi. May Cassiopeia lead you the way home, dear brother. And each time remember:
Salve! Beta Theta Pi, tu regina pura;
Cara tu meo cordi, cara, cara, cura.

Mark was a gentle, giving, kind, strong and brilliant man. He was a true friend to anyone who knew him. I met him at the University of Utah and knew him during his time in Boston. We had many laughs and a friendship through the years. I know how much he loved his family and was so very proud of his children. He will be watching over them always and all of us from his special place in heaven.
Miss you Mark. You were a great and true friend.

Kathleen, I'll never forget the phone conversation Mark and I had about whether or not I should go to law school. He was probing, inquisitive, and supportive. He assured me that I could be successful. I have been -- in part because of him!

I have no words to express my sorrow. Mark was a great friend to me. I will remember our countless discussions on life. We have spoken through the years. And when he came to Utah for court we would try and make sure to at least check-in with each other. Comparing the turns our lives had made as older parents. He loved his children so much. I am saddened I wasn't able to see him before he passed away. But in my heart, I know he knew that I was always there for him and had his back. He was a very trusted friend. My sincere condolences to his family.
