Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Marks passing. Our family as well listened to Mark for several years on Sunday mornings. When we moved here from Connecticut we knew nothing of the soil and how to grow stuff. We enjoyed listening to him and learned a lot. We would go to the plant shows to speak to him and ask him questions on air. Sending our prayers to his family. We will miss listening to him. RIP Mark...

We always listen to Mark on our way home from camping at Ft.Desoto. Coming home this AM he was not on the radio and we had a bad feeling something was wrong.Then I googled Mark when we got home and saw the sad news. We will miss Mark's advice and his brightening up our Sunday mornings. RIP Mark.

Thanks and condolences to you, Mark's family. He was a rich blessing to me -- and many others. During the last nearly ten years, I enjoyed his program most Sunday mornings. Thank you for sharing him. Prayers and Blessings.

I have listened to his radio show for many years; he was very informative. We also went to see him a few years ago when he did his radio show outside of his business on 66th street. When he spoke to people he made sure that they knew in layman's terms what he was trying to convey to them. He took all the time it took. He was very courteous always to his callers and listeners. Shocked to hear of his passing; Godspeed.

I loved his Sunday morning radio show, I will miss you Mark, I can't believe you're gone. RIP Mark

My deepest sympathy to Mark's family. I hope you find comfort in knowing how many people loved him because of his work for the past decades to beautify the world through gardening. I will always remember his words: "Without plants, we wouldn't be here." My own yard is beautiful because he spurred me into action to create lovely areas from the plain dirt it was before I found his show. Rest in peace, Mark, and thank you so much for all of your help.

Mark was a real asset to gardening in the bay area. With fewer ways to effectively reach the many gardeners we have here, he and his show served an important purpose.

All of us at the Florida Pest Management Association wish to express our sadness at Mark's passing. Our prayers are with his family and we want them to know he will be remembered well.
