I so badly wanted to say something at the prayer service but was so overwhelmed with emotion I couldn't. Sadness that we have lost you but also gratefullness to have had you in my life. So many wonderful memories of our families together. I will never forget. RIP Mark. We will all be together again one day. xo

Katie and family, Sorry for your loss. Many good times to be remembered, such a wonderful person. Will never forget growing up with Voppie- now he has to explain " his foot wedgie" to roger when they play golf upstairs. The world has lost one fine individual. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Richard Weinrich and Nancy Salhaney Essebaggers. Naples, Fla.
