I'd like to express my sympathy to the family. I just learned of Mark's passing and was sad I couldn't be there for the service. I started at the MDC when I was 50 and Mark was my foreman. We had a great relationship at work. He went out of his way to show my son and I all the fishing spots on the CT river. It wasn't long after he was diagnosed with cancer. His sick time was running out and I couldn't believe the response of his co-workers who gave up vacation time for him. That's how well he was liked.

Mark was my cousin. He was a wonderful man with a contagious smile. I have several fond memories of fishing with Mark as a child. I know Mark is at peace now on the still waters above. My condolences to his family.
