I worked with Sharky in the Milford DPW Parks Dept. I think we laughed as much as we worked. Shark, may your new journey find you with a fine libation in one hand and a cigarette nine miles long in the other hand.
Condolences to the entire McCarthy family.

I remember we were always over there as kids, in the back "shed" that was a crazy cool kid cave. Mark was always smiling, that´s what I remember most. Mark was a great dad and a great role model. Rest easy, you´ve done well.

When we were kids, for Casey's birthday's Mark and Terry would set up the tent in the backyard for us to have a campout. We would hop in the back of Mark's truck, take a ride to Little Caesars, grab some pizza and go back to roast some marshmallows around the camp fire. In the mornings, Mark would make us pancakes (best tasting pancakes I've ever had). Some of my best memories growing up were with Mark, Terry and Casey. Mark, you will be greatly missed, thank you for the memories you created with us as kids. Casey and Terry, you have my deepest condolences and I'm here for both of you if you need me.
