MARK ANDERSON

Dear Family,

While I'd not seen Mark for many years, I have many memories of an earlier time and wonderful of experiences shared. Please accept my heart felt sympathy and love for you all.

I worked with Mark in the mid80s in Chicago and never forgot his quick wit, intellect and integrity. He was unique in the best of ways.

I am sorry for your loss. God is the source of life. The One who gave life to all living persons is capable of restoring life to someone who has died. Psalm 36:9

Our fathers were the best of friends, not only were they both coincidentally named Anderson, but they were actually knit like kin. We skinned our fish and skinned our knees together long ago in northern Wisconsin, and thankfully we captured those images on Kodak and our memories. My sisters and I grieve the the loss of our brother, Mark.

I will remember Mark as a remarkable person and well respected colleague and friend. Always responsive with utmost integrity in his business interactions. He was eloquent in communications and relied upon for his intellect, thoroughness & immense expertise.

My sincere prayers to the Anderson family. At times like these, 'God can give us "power beyond what is normal," so we can keep going from one day to the next. (2 Cor.4:7) May your memories of Mark continue to bring the family comfort during this difficult time.

All I know is that I missed out because I didn't know him. You are blessed to have been his friends and family, and surely you know it is worth the pain of "Good-bye," to have had him. God bless each of you, and thank you for sharing Mark Anderson with us in the obituary and the tributes.

I met Mark in 1995 as part of a groundwater cleanup project in Orlando. He was the customer and I was an environmental consultant. In December 2013, 18 years later, Mark had become one of my best friends in life. The business side of things took a backseat to the personal side shortly after Mark moved from Orlando out to LA, and his monthly trips back to Orlando for project meetings were a highlight I always looked forward to. We had so many lengthy wondering chats and email exchanges...
