He also enjoyed quail hunting with his dad and fishing the lakes and streams around Bridgeport, Ca.

Mark and I went to jr. high together. I remember how kind he was to me at lunch when I had no one to eat with he would always be there and greet me with a smile and make me laugh. He was a good person and friend. Some people you never forget and he was one of them. Thank you for sharing him with us. I was sorry to hear of his passing

John,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. You may not remember me. I fished with you and others on the Gentleman and Speed Twin for several years. I have not fished the ocean for several years and my wife and I recently moved to Nevada to be near our grandchildren. Mark is in our prayers.
