I had the privledge of meeting Mark during his employment at FNB. He lived right around the corner from me and I would pick him up every morning and he would always make me laugh. He had his tote bag, his huge cup and whatever else he could possibly put into his hands. It would crack me up just watching him trying to make it to the car and pile everything in there. We had so many good talks together on our ride to work and back. I truely will miss him. He touched me in a way that not many people do because of his kindness and thoughfulness. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I was very saddened to receive the news of Mark's death. I can still remember the day I hired Mark at First National Bank of Nassau County and thought how lucky I was to hire someone with so much experience. He brought joy and laughter to our department on a daily basis. He was a very kind and special person. Life is too short!

I had the privilege of getting to know Mark when we worked together at First National Bank of Nassau County. He brought much fun and laughter to us on a daily basis. That was especially meaningful to me at a time when I was mourning the unexpected loss of my own son.
