Dear Chris and family
I was so sad to hear the news about Mark. I worked at FDG for nearly 10 years and look back on the time with fond memories. Mark was truly a great boss and caring man. He always spoke about you and the girls at work. It was so obvious how much he loved you all. I feel blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To the Hover Family:
Mark had a great influence on my life. I had the great pleasure of working for him for seven years at First Delta Group. He taught me how to be professional in the business, how to always tell the truth and to be tactful and polite in saying no. He taught me how to network with the right people in the industry and introduced me to so many other people who would have an influence in my life. I model some of my management style to this day after him. He taught me to play golf and to enjoy the game. He will be missed and always remembered.

To the Hoover Family, I knew Mark through our association in the Electronics Industry and local Chicago "rep" network. My sincerest condolences to all of you. Mark was a credit to those people he touched. May his memory be for a blessing.

Chris,
If I would have known earlier I would have been there today. You have lost a special person and friend and so have all of us. I will always remember the many hours Mark and I spent together in his car as he showed me the ropes of the rep business. He loved everyone he knew and we all loved him back.

To the Hoover family, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Mark. It has been years since our paths have crossed, I think the last time I saw him was several years ago at Lou Malgnatis when i was at lunch with Josh and he came over to say hello. Always a smile on his face and a joy for life. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Jessica and family, We are so very sorry about the loss of your father last week. Though we had never met him, he and your mother produced you, such a fine young woman, whom we have had and continue to have the pleasure to get to know through the Clemson University family and personally. His pride in and love for you, Jessica was evident on the picture you showed of the two of you at your recent wedding in Charleston! Fathers and daughters are, indeed a special relationship, so please know we are praying for you and Chase and your Chicago family! God bless, Carolyn, Charlie, Aynsley and Drayton Wade

Dear Chris, Jessica and Katie,
We feel your tremendous pain at the loss of Mark. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I already miss Mark tremendously. Every day we saw each other at work, we had some kind of pleasant conversation or funny story we've shared over the 27 years I've been at FDG. Mark was one of the nicest, kindest and honest persons I've ever met in my life. He will truly be missed by everyone he's ever touched. And he's touched many people in his life. Amy, I and the boys are here if you need anything at all. Keep the wonderful memories of Mark close to your hearts!!! Love, Amy, Scott, Josh and Noah
