I met Mark in 1983 , throughout the many years at RCA-GE-Lockheed Martin I would run into Mark. No matter how long between our chance encounters, it was like we were just picking up the conversation where we left off. He always had a kind word and words of wisdom to share. In the past few years, we worked in the same building and we would have many conversations on many topics. I will miss his funny quips and interesting thought provoking conversations. My condolences to his family.

Mark was always happy to share his extensive knowledge with you & ask about your well-being. What struck me most about Mark was his eternally positive attitude; despite the pressures of a constantly heavy workload, he always made time for you with a smile and cheerful word. I'm a better person for knowing Mark.

I'm so profoundly sad to hear of Mark's passing. He was the type of person everyone wanted to work with - he knew his job incredibly well and was a pleasure to work with and get to know.
My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.

Mark was always a friend to all... Obviously, those same qualities carried forth into his later years. His willingness to donate his time to the community and his professional life were exemplary. Thinking of you at this time my old friend and will continue to do so into the future.

He'd always make us laugh, and I will miss his intelligence and cooperative work spirit. He was an asset to our enterprise and we are better people for knowing him. Godspeed and our love to his loved ones.

I knew Mark from my days at Lockheed, Martin Marietta, and GE Aerospace. I only saw Mark once or twice a year at conferences and meetings but would reach out to him if I needed help. Mark was always so helpful and kind. He was also fun with a great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers for his family and friends. He will be missed.

I could go a while without talking to Mark and when we'd finally talk, It would be like we had seen each other the day before. Alway a pleasure to work and chat with Mark. His dedication and hard work will be missed. His laughter and rants too. RIP Buddy.
