My condolences to the entire Iver's family. I just heard about his passing away yesterday and regret not being at his wake. Mark was a good friend from the West Pullman days. In recent years, I saw Mark at the Downers Grove Friday night car shows and at the Health club on Sundays.

Mark worked with me since 1983. A life long friend. Mark was always there to help with the work even though sometimes it wasn't the usual office work. We had times together outside work enjoying doing projects together from time to time. Mark's empty chair is unable to be filled. I repeat again, Mark was a life long friend!
