Mark and I worked together at Siemens and kept in close contact after. He shared with me his challenges from the beginning, but his passing was a great shock. I will miss him and our long talks.

To the entire Croy family...So very saddened to hear of the passing of Mark. He was such a special part of our family for so many years. My Mom and Grandma especially loved him. He had the voice of an angel and I recall fondly with tears the very 1st time I heard the song "IF" and I still get goosebumps remembering his part in MacArthur Park. May he fly high among God's angels. Love you, all.

May Gods love, peace and comfort hold you in His hands during this time of loss. I remember Mark and his solo at the Bishop Luers concert. As a teen I remember his smile, love of life and his faith. He appears to have grown into a fine man, you can be proud of his accomplishments, family and everlasting faith.
