My condolences to Mark's family. Thought of Mark and all the good times at THS, and then later on our jobs we shared.
Boy what a nice guy, always positive, cared about others, and was a great father to those 2 girls ( now adults).

I agree 100% with Victoria. Mark was someone who you always knew would make you smile and always had something nice or funny to say. He was always so positive and fun to be around. He and Stu = great memories at THS. I wish I could attend on Thursday, but I have an appointment that I can't get out of. My deepest condolences to his family. Patti (Boere) Deane
