Mike Sr and Mary, Mike Jr., Shaun, Johnny, and the whole Bleheen family. I was so saddened to hear of Mark's death. I can tell you that working with him made for a better night and as with all of the Bleheens it was good to have him with us on those "bad" nights.
Like his dad he had the ability to put things into perspective with his sense of humor. It is so true what I've read in other entries that Mark left an impression on you and to loose someone like that is truly a loss for us all. My family sends its deepest regrets and sympathies for your and our loss. He was just a guy you had to like and I smile just thinking about him.
Our hearts are heavy. God bless you at this time of loss. Mark will always be a part of my good memories.

Almighty Eternal God, in Your fatherly goodness, be kind to the soul of Your servant, Marky. Cleanse him whom You have called from this world of all his faults, take him into the Realm of Light and Peace and into the Community of Your Saints, and give him his share of Eternal Delight in Your Kingdom. God, You Creator and Saviour of all the faithful, forgive all the sins of all Your servants' souls. Let them receive forgiveness through our pious prayer, for which they have always been yearning. For this we pray through Jesus, Our Lord. Amen.

There was a time, probably over ten years ago now, that Marky and I were inseperable in and outside of the Globe, where we worked together. He was like no one I had ever known. He was incredibly open and fiercely loyal to everyone in his life. He was one of my best friends less than a week after I had even met him. His one of a kind personality and outlook made me see things in life so differently and still makes me have so much more fun today with everything I do. I was lucky to have known him, as was everyone else that was ever around him. To this day, people that met him for ten minutes at my wedding still smile when they ask me how he's doing. He was and will forever be truly unforgettable.

Unfortunately for me, time and circumstance have seperated us for a couple of years. Although I haven't seen him in all that time, I am absolutely devasted that he is gone.

Thankfully it is impossible to be sad when I think of him. I will always smile when I picture that devilish grin and hear that contagious laugh of his in my head, that would shake his whole body and turn his face and bald head bright red.

I will miss you, BullDog, you friggin Nut !!!!

Mike, Mikey Jr, Shaun, Johnny and the whole Bleheen family, I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you all and may Marky watch over all of us.
