May Mark's soul rest with Jesus. He was a great man and an outstanding Father and Husband. My children attended school with his daughter Caitlin, and we also attended the same Parrish as the Costello family.
Mark will be greatly missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Cathy: I`m so so sorry Mark is the only person I ever did any work for that I didn't have any bad things to say about. I loved working for him. He didn`t ever treat me as any less of a person as him. The world has lost a very special person.He will be greatly missed by all. It has been a pleasure to have had him in my life! Thank You Mark, RIP
