Denise Just wanted to share my condolences to you over Marks passing. Such a sad thing to hear. You two made such a great couple and you both made me happy to be around. Your sense of humor was the best. Big big hugs to you. I know there isn't nothing that has been hardest in your life than now but I am sure he still surrounds you. RIP Mark

Denise,
I am very sorry to hear about Mark's passing. I will always remember the time I conducted a route inspection with you, and during our conversation you said " Mark is my soulmate". That statement has stayed with me all these years, and I will never forget those words. I will also always remember how kind you and Mark were to me as a new supervisor at NW Station. When I gave my first safety talk I said something regarding how work doesn't have to be a drag and we all should try to have a little fun there. As he walked out of the Swing Room, he said, (Just loud enough for me to hear) "Lets get out there and have some fun". HA! I know his comment was at my expense, but it was still funny. You are both truly good people whom I will always treasure knowing. Take care of yourself Denise.
In God & Country
Bob

I worked with Mark at Titan Wheel in Walcott, Iowa decades ago. Long before he began his career with the postal service.
I have not had any contact with him since those days at Titan. He is a part of my past and I am grateful to have had Mark be a part of my life.
