During my years at Honeywell, Mark was one that you could always count on for having positive influence. Like others have reflected, he was always an enjoyment to be around. It's a shame that he has been taken away from his family and friends so soon in his life. My sincere and deepest sympathies continue to go out to his family.

I worked with Mark at Honeywell. We worked Y2K together and later got our Black Belts at the same time.

He was a great friend and a great co-worker. I wish everyone I worked with was like Mark.

I just heard about him today. I will truly miss him.

When Mark and I worked in the same office, I always looked forward to our conversations - and his pot-luck contributions! Once we weren't in the same office, I always was excited to see when he was assigned a project I was also working on so we could talk again. He was very smart, kind, thought with his heart as much as his head, and I will miss him. My prayers are out to his family during this difficult time.

I wanted to express my deep sadness of Mark's passing. He was such a special person to always be such a light to others when they needed some sunshine in their day. I was looking forward to his return to the Philly area and eating all the treats he missed being in AZ. Please know we have not lost Mark but gained a permanent guardian angel.

Mark was a very friendly person who made you feel good being around him. I have many fond memories of him when I was with Honeywell all the way back to when we were in the DV9 building when he was with CSM to when he was my Six Sigma instructor - of which he was a mentor and wonderful teacher. Mark - you will be missed by many, rest in peace my friend. Darwin Huber
