I will always remember mark, he has been my friend and client for thirty some odd years, He would come in and talk about his girls, which he loved more than I can say, He made sure he always asked about Austen, he even made sure Austen got a football sighed by Ray, Mike and himself. Always asking how he is was doing.Mark would always give me a big bear hug when he was leaving and tell me to take care. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

While we are so very sad we cannot help but smile when we look back.....so, so many good memories. Golf on Saturday mornings, TCU tailgating at Dugger's spot, trips to Houston to watch Mike play and barely making it back in time for work Monday morning, late night Family Feud games at Ms. Pulley's on Trail Lake, sunbathing and cooking out at Sandra & Ray's, Fleetwood Mac concert (and many others), breakfasts @ Wimbleton & the subsequent tennis games @ the Rickel Bldg, and many New Year Eves. Mark was our social director and lived every minute of every day with enthusiasm. Heaven just got a little more fun!
