Mark was truly a Best Friend. We have known him and Terri for years and enjoyed great times with them. Boating, kayaking, flying, camping and fun trips. Mark and I always enjoyed "hangar" time, just goofing around at the hangar after a short flight, or doing some project on a boat, house or whatever.
Mark "Murf" could fix anything and was always amazing watching him solve problems and fix something. He was creative in solving problems and creating solutions. He made parts, designed things, fabricated the parts and put things together.
So often we would just talk in the morning to discuss yesterdays happenings and what was yet to come.
Carol and I will truly miss him.
