Mark was a classmate of mine at Moeller (class of 1975). What a great loss for all of us especially his wonderful family. I will always remember Mark's great personality. He was always smiling. I never witnessed him being angry. He had a golden sense of humor that could always lighten up any difficult time. Rest in peace Mark. You will never be forgotten.

Mark was one of my friends in HR at GE, that I truly enjoyed working with. Whenever he asked for my assistance, I was always glad to help him in any way that I could. He also made that work a bit of fun, with his humor and laughter. My sincere condolences and prayers to his family.

Someone was once asked, "What happens when you die ?"
The reply was, "I don't know what will happen after you die, but I do know that those that loved you will miss you..."
Mark will be missed by many !!
Rest in peace my brother...

Mark and I have been friends since grade school through attendance at graduate school together. Deb and the kids/grandkids and the rest of his family along with a large group of friends and coworkers lost a great guy. He will be remembered for that easy smile and laugh, his enjoyment of a cold one every now and then, his love for his ponds, fountains and fish but most of all his dedication to his family which he dearly loved and kept us up to date on.
