Mark and I shared the same political affiliation and the same Lake Padden Golf Course together. We spent many an evening playing 9 holes and solving the problems of the world. Great guy. We all will miss him.

So sad to hear this. Mark was truly a unique character at Baker. I always enjoyed talking with him and hearing his stories from the IT trenches. I really appreciated his sense of humor. 73 sir.
