Spent many days many years ago having many good times with this man. Realize I am late to express my sympathy to his family but something today triggered thoughts of Mark and some of the times we had. They were usually good times and sometimes hard to remember, even the next day. Marc

My deepest condolences to the Ukraine family and all that knew Mark. Mark was a very dear old friend that I have many fond memories of and have thought of often through the years. Although we have not seen each other in many years I can still hear his infectious laugh and remember his free spirit. I am greatly saddened by his passing and only can pray for the hope his family and friends can hold his memory deep within their souls of the great human he always was. I will miss you dearly and pray you are at peace. As you walk through heaven and see all those who have gone before you know that you will remain in our hearts and our minds forever. R.I.P. my dear friend
