Wow! What a shock for me to hear of Mark's passing. I have not seen him in many years since I now live in NJ. Mark will always be apart of my childhood memories. We had such fun at all the many pool parties, picnics at the Johnsons Estate, trick-or-treating, and we cannot forget night tag. It sure was fun!
Mrs. Gore and family, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I went to church this a.m. and I lit a candle for both Mark and Mr. Gore. What a rough year! God Bless!

I have had the honor of knowing Mark for over thirty years. Mark was always smiling and had a great sense of humor. His love of children and animals speaks volumes on the kind of human being he was. My love and condolences to Mom Gore, Mary Ellen and Katie, Randy and his family and Ann Marie and Riley. I love you all.

The Webb Family would like to express our deepest sympathy to the Gore Family. Although I haven't been in touch with Mark for sometime, I will always remember the great times we shared together when we lived in WPB. Mark will truly be missed!

I consider myself very lucky to have known Mark for most of my life. Our families have been friends since we were kids. But it was over the last two years that I had the chance to see what a truly kind man Mark had become: how he was always there for his family; his huge soft spot for children and animals; and his intolerance for things not being handled sensibly. Most of all I will remember how my daughter Lilly always laughed and smiled when Mark came into the room. We send our love to Aunt Jean, Helen, Mary Ellen, Ann Marie, Randy and the entire Gore family.
