As I sat here last night thinking of friends from the past, you came right to my mind. I decided to look you up only to find that you have crossed over to the other side. Mark, I don't know what happened but I hope you didn't suffer. The condolences are beautiful and so true. You were one of a kind. The world was blessed having you here. I hope the bagpipes were playing when you arrived... Loved you more than you ever knew. Rest in peace sweetheart! Until we meet again....JoAnn

I was a classmate of Mark's at Valley Forge and I use to talk to him at the auto parts store when I was working at the North Royalton Fire dept. He will be missed.
