Mark was a great friend. He really helped me after college when I moved to Portland and did not know anyone. He loved nice cars and motorcycles. He always talked fondly about his family in Lebanon. We had a lot of good times together. I enjoyed visiting him in Aloha. I'll always miss him. My condolences to all his friends and family. I'll always remember him fondly.
