I just heard today about the unexpected passing of Mark. I did not know him well, and yet we talked and interacted for years when he walked his beloved dogs through his Squirrel Hill neighborhood. Later, when I had dogs of my own we often walked together. We had some great conversations. I found him to be a remarkable storyteller. Before he and Bonnie left Pittsburgh, I purchased a cedar chest and a old record player converted into a storage bin from them. I believe the cedar chest belonged to a family member. In the bottom of the chest, I found a photograph and for some reason I have never been able to dispose of it. I would love to pass the photo on to the family if it would have any meaning. I am so sorry for your loss. Mark was a kind and friendly human being. I am so sorry he did not have more time to enjoy life in Hawaii. I can only offer my condolences and prayers to the family. May he forever Rest in Peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I met him through a mutual friend while looking over the LA area, once again, after military service. I conversed with him over the years, and we shared some of our working and life experiences. He was a very intelligent and kindhearted soul, and he will be missed by me, as well as many others whose lives he touched. I know how much he loved his family and his closest friends, and I wish them well at this time during their loss. Rest in peace Mark! You are now in God's hands and an angel watching over everyone.
