Mark was very kind to me and offered lots of help and advice while I lived in the Dominican Republic. I will always remember his kindness to all who worked for him and strangers he met on his way. Peace be with you Mark. My thoughts are with his family and Paula's as well.

We knew "D.R. Mark" - first as a client, then quickly as as friend. Mark has always been someone we loved to talk to not only as a businessman, but as an intellectual and someone who truly loved the adventure of life Intelligence, class, taste, and fun. Mirabon and Las Canas are empty for us without him. Our deepest sympathies to all his family. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything here in the DR we can help you with.
