My brother Kevin just emailed about Mark's passing. We used to live across from the Scrantons on Harshmanville Road when they lived in Huber Heights. I went off to Ohio State in 1977 and lost track of him. Since then, I moved to Charlotte, NC, and have lived here for just over 19 years. I, too, am 48. I can still remember hearing a musical instrument being played from inside their house. I don't know if that was Mark's or his brother's. My condolences to the family.

Even though I hadn't seen Mark in a while I thought of him often after I learned about his illness. His sense of humor and wonderful smile made it easy to come to work at Arena Dodge every day. May he have a peaceful new life at the side of God, and to the loved ones left behind, you are in my prayers.

I've cut Mark's hair for close to 3 years, and I have always looked forward to his appointments. Even after he got sick, he always found something about himself to crack on. He had such a dry sense of humor! We talked about our kids a lot. He was very good to me. He would drive all the way to Springfield, just for me to cut his hair. Last Christmas he gave me a radio control car that he won at a vehicle auction to give to my 4 year old son. Mark got a big kick out of it when I told him that car was my son's favorite Christmas present! I always kept Mark in my prayers, and it comforts me to know that he is no longer suffering. I was supposed to see Mark this Thursday for his 6 week appointment, and I intend to keep his name in his spot, and take that time to say a prayer for him.

Mark was a good friend of mine. He hired me at Arena Dodge and helped me get started in sales. I'll never forget some of the harmless pranks we used to pull together. We had one heck of a dart team at the Orchard way back when! I will always remember Mark's friendship and I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Dick, Margaret, and Michael.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with each of you as you grieve the loss of your loved one.

Mark was a very special person and had won a place in the heart of many people, including mine. He will be missed tremendously. If there is anything I can do to help ease your pain, please let me know.

Mark will be watching over you daily and will no longer endure the pain he once had to go through. God bless and take care.
