My condolences. Mark was such a kind and fun person who I had the pleasure of meeting through the theater many years ago. His warm smile and joyous laugh will live on with thoughts of him.

George and Carol, I am so very sorry for your loss. I've know Mark since he first stepped into the Mystic Cinemas, with his grandmother. He was there so often Donna had to put him on the payroll, when he came of age. We worked together for many years and stayed in touch sporadically after we both left the theatre business. Mark was a good friend, always checking in on me when I lost my husband. He was a good man who never lost his boyish enthusiasm. He will be dearly missed.

Dear Aimee, friends and family,
A bright light refers to an intense illumination source that was Mark and Mark represented Joy and light. Sadly for us who loved Mark we didn't realize that the fun we all shared would be us making memories. I choose to remember a vibrant and enthusiastic young. Marcus, his laugh could fill a stadium. His energy and crazy sense of humor knew no limits. This loss is truly a gut punch. I am still waiting to exhale whether in a moment of some crazy adventure or...
