Thank you for the long distance friendship over the years and for Mark's lengthy friendship with Doug Fertig. For 20 years, Doug treasured Mark's thoughtful letters and saved them to reread. He also valued Mark's dry sense of humor and his warmth and humanity as well. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I am VERY sorry for the loss of a very good man, boss, community leader. I know words cannot begin to heal the loss that his family and friends are feeling right now. I will be especially praying for the family that God sends comfort.

I was a Korda Employee for about 1 year. Mark was one the fine finest and fairest managers I have every work with, he will be sorely missed. My prayers are with you and your family. From numbers 6:25-27; The Lord bless three, and keep thee. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up his countenance to thee, and give thee peace.

Dorie and family,
I was so shocked to read of Mark's passing. We were your neighbor's in Smokey Ridge and lived on Greenburg. Our kids used to play together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow for you.

Worthington has lost one of its best citizens! Mark's leadership and spirit during the Bicentennial was an inspiration to me and the way you both confronted Mark's illness provided another. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Mark's suffering and death. I went to school with Mark from 1st to 11th grades. He was the smartest student in the class - all 30 of us! He and I went to the Junior prom together. About 5 years ago, I received an email from him catching me up on his life. He seemed quite happy and so proud of his family. He mentioned that his daughter had gotten married and that her wedding day was one of the happiest in his life - to see his daughter so happy. What a great dad! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Dorie,
I wish that I could be there to give you a big hug. Just writing this makes my eyes fill up. How well I remember those days in our dorm room when you first met Mark, the excitement, the love, the dreams of a future together. I am so glad that you two were able to share all these years together and I am so very, very sorry about your loss. My heart goes out to you, as well as Brian, Kelly, Tracie, and families.
Love, Sus

I was fortunate to have worked for Mark for three years at Korda, and during that time came to know him as a kind and honorable man, and a good president for our company.
My family and I have kept him in our prayers over the past year of his illness. Travel over the Easter Holiday will prevent me from personally paying respects this weekend, but we will continue to pray for him and his loved ones nonetheless.

Dear Dorie-
Mark will be missed by so many people. He was such a wonderful guy! It was a real pleasure to get to know him as we worked together on Ohio Chautauqua over the past few years. Mark wasn't just our greatest champion in Worthington, he was also our great friend.
You and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mark and speaking with him several times on the phone as our company has done business with Korda for many years. Although I didn't know him well, I know he was an extremely kind and intelligent man who was obviously loved and respected by friends and colleagues alike.

Although I never met Mark in person, we became acquainted through an interest in my family history. It turns out that Mark and I shared the same great great grandfather and thus communicated via email our combined information on our family history. My sympathy to his family and many friends on the loss of this much beloved man. God bless you all.
