Mark is a great friend of mine. He had a keen wit, and a quick laugh, loved his wife to pieces. He was there for me during a very dark period of personal grief. Love you man, see you soon!

My condolences to Clarissa and Mark's family. My heart breaks for you. I was fortunate to know Mark for many years and count him among my friends. The bravery he displayed in his fight was an inspiration for all. I'm sure he will be missed and all who knew him will cherish their treasured memories of him as I will. Rest my friend. I'm sure we'll meet again someday.

I mostly knew _of_ Mark, as he and my husband worked together at Johnson Controls. Paul counted Mark as a good friend and a great addition to their team. Paul was always happy when he shared tales of his days that included Mark. We are so sorry for your loss.
