One of my earliest neighborhood friends, beginning in kindergarten, then through the St Kilian´s years, and so many summers at Foster Park, first as day campers until we finally aged out and were made junior counselors, swimming at the Aqua Club, student crossing guards on Racine, you at 85th and me at 86th St., altar boys - we could have been each other´s shadow during those times. You went on to have a great career, 3M and then your own successful businesses. I admired your entrepreneurial spirit. A wonderful family as well. League basketball for your recreation. You were a great buddy and an all-around nice guy. You´ll be missed by so many. Rest in peace, Mark.
