Dear Caryn and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences. Even though we didn't get a chance to see much of each other, he was a great friend and room mate. I learned a lot for Mark. Especially how to enjoy life. He will always live in my heart.
I don't think it ironic Marks passing on April Fools Day.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked for Mark and Carin on their home on many occasions and it was always a pleasure. The one thing I had a in common with Mark which was the love of the outdoors and fishing. I will miss him greatly. Joe Tabulka

I am so sorry to hear about Mark. I worked with him at Park B Smith and he always kept us laughing. I am glad I got to see him recently at a trade show party. He talked about his wife, kids, and grand kids with such pride. I have shared the news with several other people who have worked with him and they too were saddened by the news. I will always have fond memories of Mark and send my condolences to his family.
