My deepest sympathies to Sharon, Ellen, and Michael.

Just heard the news today of Mark's passing with great sadness. Though it's been more than twenty years since we last met, I will always carry the vivid and fond memories of the good-natured classmate who made me laugh and made my day when I needed it most.

Thanks for the memories, Mark.

Mark stands out in my memory as a good natured guy, honest and loyal. I consider it a privilege to have known him at all. But for his family to lose him so young, when he yet had so many adventures and experiences to share - words are simply inadequate.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Though I did not stay in contact with Mark after high school it always saddens me when we loose a fellow grad from the class on '84. God's speed Mark, you will be missed and remembered as a wonderful human being.
