Not sure what to say?

Love you, Sull. We all did.

RIP

So sorry to near of Mark's passing. I only met Mark a few times when he visited Woodstock, NB to visit his baseball teammates from 1980. I instantly knew that he was a genuinely good guy and somebody who would be a great man to know and count as a friend.

Our deepest sympathy to Mark’s family & friends. When Mark came to Woodstock to play ball he stayed at our home for the summer. We enjoyed having him and Dale & Mark kept in touch for years after that.

In memory of Sully, my friend and teammate. May his soul be with the Lord G-d.

I am so sorry of Mark's passing. Thinking of all of you.Emma Gina Zonghetti
