I am truly sad to hear this. Mark was one of the best shipmates one could have. Mark and I were stationed on the USS Bainbridge CGN-25 out in San Diego.RIP.

Words can not express the sadness that Patrick and I are feeling after the sudden loss of a dear friend. We will remember his kindness and love of baseball especially the Cubs. Father's Day will never be the same; you will always be in our thoughts. Rest in peace Mark; til we meet again at the baseball game in the sky. Our prayers are with your brother Chuck and all the friends you have touched. Go NAVY!

So sorry for your loss. Mark was good friend and neighbor to my parents for many years in Wheaton. Our entire family embraced him as he was so thoughtful and caring. His sense of humor and gentle kindness will be deeply missed. (picture attached from comedy show at COD in 2016 - with Larry Pearson with Mark)

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Mark at MCL for approximately 15 years. He was truly one of the nicest guys I have ever known. He will be missed.
