So sorry to near of Mark's passing. I only met Mark a few times when he visited Woodstock, NB to visit his baseball teammates from 1980. I instantly knew that he was a genuinely good guy and somebody who would be a great man to know and count as a friend.

Our deepest sympathy to Mark’s family & friends. When Mark came to Woodstock to play ball he stayed at our home for the summer. We enjoyed having him and Dale & Mark kept in touch for years after that.

So many memories of times with Mark and others growing up in Somerville. It sucks to see him and many others pass, but the good times and laughs that were shared live in my remembrance of him. May he rest in peace and that his family will share in our sorrow to see a brother pass.

Dear Tom and Family,
We are sorry to hear the news and are thinking of you.
Mark and I spoke a few years back when I needed a new roof and I thought of him just last week while our walking the dogs around Medford. I forgot how much you look alike and it was great to see all the pictures.
Hoping you find peace in remembering the good times.

All the best,
Harold & Margaret Mason

Cousin Mark, I hope you have found some peace and have been reunited with your son. You have left us too soon. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming. I pray for the peace of your soul and that your many friends, sisters and family can always keep their memories of you in their hearts. You are so missed already. I didn’t know you well, but as I have heard from your sisters, you were a wonderful brother, friend, father and person. May you RIP. Your California cousin, Jean. ❤
