Muzz, Bonnie, Danna, Terry, and Family,
I just received word about Mark's passing - and on his birthday. I am deeply, genuinely sorry for the loss to the family and to others who knew and loved him. As he rests in peace, I will pray for all of you during your time of grief. I know how close, loving and caring you are and, therefore, what a difficult time this must be for all of you. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

My heart is with Mark's family. Mark was my best friend for over 40 years through thick and thin. No one ever made me laugh like Mark did. We did Thalian theatre together and traveled Europe for 2 summers in the late 1970's. Oh, the stories we had to tell. A few days before Mark passed, he appeared to me in a dream. I felt someone behind me. I turned around, and he was standing there with a head full of well cared for hair and glowing skin and smiled broadly as if to say, "It's all good." I will always miss him.

I'm so, so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. It's certainly a loss for the ILM flight attendant group. I flew with Mark often; he was such a good guy to spend a day with in a cramped, noisy airplane. Always smiling that bright, white smile! I remember flying with him when he was on some kind of diet where you were only supposed to eat fruit before 10 AM. He carried a big bag of fresh fruit on a 4-day trip. We kidded him that we could always find him a crowded terminal or aircraft for the cluster of fruit flies surrounding him. Such a great guy to work with. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

I was very sad to hear that Mark is gone although I haven't seen him in many years. Have wonderful memories from performing with him at Thalian Hall. I still wear a beautiful heart locket he gave me when I moved away. He was a sweet, funny, very talented man. My condolences to his family.

Mark was so special to work with. I was delighted to see him at our annual Piedmont Christmas party but was saddened to hear of his cancer battle. He was one of our own and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Please know that I am thinking of him and of his family.

Our condolences to all the Thomas family. I've known Mark and all the Thomas's since our Bradford days and treasure my close friendship with Danna. I know Mark will be missed by all of you. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Dear Lucille and Family, My heartfelt thoughts and sympathy go out to you at this time. I thought of Mark often and I was just talking about him last week how we would watch horror classic movies while he colored my hair. I always enjoyed being around his fun sense of humor and laughter. Mark will always hold a special place in my heart. With Love and Prayers ~

I am so saddened to hear of Mark's passing. We had so much fun flying together, and always enjoyed reminiscing about our high school days. To his family, I send my sincere condolences. I am so glad he joined our ILM Piedmont Holiday celebration in 2013. What a treat for everyone there, and I will treasure that memory.

What a dear person and we will all miss him at our Piedmont gatherings. He sat at our table when I last saw him and was so upbeat as usual...have a picture but his eyes were closed. Miss you Mark and my condolences to your loved ones.

Mark was always a pleasure to work with or to run into in the Piedmont/ US Airways crew room. I always enjoyed his witty sense of humor. He was a special person and will be missed.
Much love to his family.

I am so sad to hear of Mark's passing. He was so great and so funny. I hate we had lost touch since I moved away from Wilmington. Many memories of our fun times .He was the friend who showed up at my moving sale in Wilmington and stayed for the whole thing. He "introduced" me to Tammy Fay Baker!! We went together to interview with Piedmont. He was hired and I wasn't but I still loved him. I wish I had known of his illness. Blessings for grace to his family and loved ones.

I don't think Mark realized how special he was, or how much he was thought of by those who knew him...in his own way, he was a positive influence on his friends. We are better people for having known him. He left us too soon.

I was honored to get to know Mark and his wonderful sense of humor brightened my day. God's speed my friend. God Bless. Angie.
