The ice fishing isn't so good in the southern part of the State this year, Mark. Global warming may be affecting us this year. But "Up North" I hear they're catching plenty of nice-sized pan fish wherever their diddle rod diddles. I know you have all the right gear to catch all the fish you ever wanted this year and always. And again this year and always you are held close to our hearts with warm and loving memories, living on as strong as ever. Rest well, my Friend, and I'll see you "at the Lake".
Love,
Chris

Some might say they can't believe its been a year since Mark left us. For me, its been a long, lonely, empty year. If time heals all wounds, I've got a long row to hoe. Missing you everyday, Marko. Thanks to Rob for sponsoring this guest book.

Hay Mark,
Just a note to let you know we think of you often and always say a prayer of love. If you have time between all the other good things you are doing (fishing/hunting/biking/fixing) say a prayer or two for us because you now have much more influence with the Big Guy than we do.
Love and Prayers Always,
Jim & Patti
PS: John & Pam's Brewster past away just last week, but you probably already know that.

My Dear Godson,
Words don't come easy for me. I will really miss you. Things will never be the same now that you are gone. I will always remember all the fun times we had. Like when you used to sneak up on me from around some corner and try to scare me. You always succeeded!
I am so proud to have been your Godmother. You never disappointed me.
Remember I Love You Mark-E-Moo...
And I always will..

To all who read this I'm sorry for the late entry, but this has been extremely hard emotionaly for me. Mark and I fought like cats & dogs in our child hood days up until we got into our late twenties. We then became best friends & would enjoy many hunting and fishing excursions together, even though 90% of the time he would outdo me in evey adventure. I wish I could say I'd let him beat me but that is not the case, but it still gave me great pleasure to see in his eyes and in his voice and smile how proud he was to best "big brother". Mark, my eyes are weeping as I write this only because I miss you so much. I know that God and Jesus have their hands ful with your hunting and fishing skills. I'll bet that you are besting them right now and that they too are enjoying it. I hope when my time comes that God feels merciful and allows me to pass into the pearly gates, right down to the dock and into youir boat where we will begin our eternal fishing trip along with the members of all our family together. God bless you and I miss you. the "Little One"

Dear Mark,
I wasn't home when Willie posted his tribute. he forgot the ":Holy Hoby" dolls and how we all laughed till our stomachs were sore. You were not bashful about what you invented for Mr. Bill.
I'll never forget your bear hug greeting that lifted me off the ground. You will be sorely missed,but we all look forward to joining you.
With Much Love
Aunt Jeanne

I would first like to apologigize to all for not being able to attend the service. Please know that Billy and I were there in heart and spirit. It's hard to express how one feels in times like this. Their is so much to say. Just know Marko that Billy and I talk a lot about the Cub game and your car. He still has the picture of him sitting in it and of the four of us at the Cub's game. We miss you and just between you and me, until we meet again, save me a seat in the boat. We love you......Bill (willie-walleye) and Billy.

This was sent to me upon the death of someone dear. It touched me as I hope it touches all of you who grieve
TO THOSE I LOVE
If I should ever leave you whom I love,
To go along the Silent Way, grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk
Of me as I were beside you there.
I'd come--I'd come, could I but find a way!
But would not tears and grief be barriers?
And when you hear a song or see a bird
I loved, please do not let the thought of me
Be sad...For I am loving you just as I always have,
You were so good to me!
There are so many things I wanted still
To do--so many things to say to you.
Remember that I did not fear...It was
Just leaving you that was so hard to face...
We cannot see Beyond...but this I know:
I loved you so--'twas heaven here with you.

Your sudden illness and passing left a huge void. I for one thought to still have time to tell you what you meant to me as a friend. We hadn't been close the past few years as life has a way to take us into different directions. But the friendship from years ago remained vivid. We had such great times, the "Four Hell's Angels from Milwaukee". The giggles we shared on the "Mopads" so frequent, your anger (translation-worry) when Nancy and I got "lost" on the Highway so sincere gave way to heartfelt laughter when Chocolate Chip cookies got crushed like bugs. Remembering the times, remembering you, will always bring a smile to those who had the privilege to know you as a man, a husband, a father and a friend. My heart will smile thinking of you because you touched my life in such a positive way.

Mark,
You knew so much. Where did you learn it all? Where did you get the patience to pass it on to others? You taught me how to ride a cycle, only for me to ride it into a tree. When we went bow hunting, and I had a nice deer right in front of me... I FROZE!!
The deer got away. With your infinite wisdom and your special name for me, said "that's OK Larry.
Maybe next time." We WILL have a next time!

It is hard for me to think of one of our clan leaving us all so early and so young. Mark was always there for any of us who needed him. Whether for fishing or hunting or working on cars, he always had a smile and a laugh and a kind hearted touch. God must have needed a warm friendly heart up in His home. I have missed alot of all the fun had, here in these woods, but I will never forget one sunny summer day when Mark came to play. WE were visiting Vivian's old house down in the nook, Mark showed up with a three wheeler and started riding wheelies all around. To my surprise he jumped off and said " Who's next?" Mark was always so willing to share with everyone what ever he had to offer. I jumped on and rode around tring to pull up the front tire as he had done. Even after rolling the machine over backwards a few times before I got the hang of it, Mark was there with a smile. My enjoyment was more important to him then was the chance of me breaking something. (Probally cause he could have fixed it right away.) Mark showed me a willingness to give and patience for me to learn, that I hope I can copy in all I do. He is missed, but his smile will remain locked in my memorries forever. Thanks Mark for showing me how to share, even my big toys. I love you Mark thanks for the ride, I hope you enjoy the next part of our journey through life. It is nice to know we have such a kind heart now learning the new dance step, so he can help us all again when we need him, to help show us the way. God's blesings to all of us that will miss him. He was loved by so many. If greatness can be judged by how many people love you, Mark is way ahead in the game, his greatness, beyond measure. Peace out.

Mark was the best"gear head" I've ever known. We talked cars every time we were together. I'll never forget the ride in the 36 Chevy after he had the blower put on it. We were like a couple of teenagers.Mark invited me to go fishing last summer and I had to turn him down as I was too busy, he called the next day to tell me about the largest panfish he had caught in a long time.It just goes to show, never be too busy to go fishing,you might be giving up memories that can't be replaced. I miss you Mark, you will be on my mind anytime I turn a wrench or cast a lure.

Mark, we will miss you so much especially your great talent at finding the “just right” depth for fishing walleyes. I didn’t know it was so hard to do but what can you expect from a guy who lives where water is soft not frozen. Now you will have to guide us from above perhaps with a crack in the ice or a swirl in the snow, you’ll find a way.
To our family and friends of Mark, we offer you our sympathy and our happy memories. We will remember the time we spent knowing and loving Mark as he grew up dodging corn cobs on the “farm” and as a grown man and father teaching us all with his special talents and sharing his many gifts. He will forever touch our hearts and we are comforted that God will keep him forever safe through His love in that special dwelling place prepared just for him and all his friends and family that have gone before him. He will rejoice with them always for God has said:
Do not be afraid,
I am with you,
I have called you each by name,
Come and follow me,
I will bring you home,
I love you…and you are Mine.

When I think of Mark , the first thing that comes to mind is a beautiful fall day some years ago. I decided that it was a perfect day to bowhunt behind the old Baas farm , so down the lane I went and climbed into a large oak tree in which one of the clan had erected a wooden platform. As I (probably noisily) settled in to wait for unsuspecting deer,I glanced around . To my suprise as I looked over my left shoulder I noticed a camo clad Mark in his climbing stand about 20 yards away. All he did was give me his nod/wave that I am sure you are all familiar with . I doubt there are many among us who would have been so calm about such an intrusion into our hunting area as Mark was that day. His actions that day, or rather , lack of action, should be a lesson for us . I learned one that day. Mark , thanks for letting me hunt with you that day.

You always had that special smile and were always ready to make me laugh! I'll always remember the fun time we had driving down to Twin Lakes in your truck singing "North to Alaska"! I also earned a new respect for "Spearmint Schnapps"! Thanks for the love and memories. Love you always

My brother, my friend, my children's uncle. So many memories, a lifetime at that. One that keeps popping up at me now is of Mark gently reading Golden Books to Jess and Billy at bedtime. Such paitence, and he didn't know it then, but a start to a proven great father. My heart aches for your laugh, Mark. I love you,

Mark we love you, we will miss you always. You completed every celebration and gathering we shared. You have a special place in our hearts. We will always remember "the kiss" as one of the nicest things that ever happened to us.

Mark,Two of my fondest memories of our time together was once in Canada fishing when our lines were only two feet apart, yet you caught all the fish. Another time we were camping/hunting in the U.P. and after a long cold day in the woods you introduced me to E&J Brandy. I will miss you daily. I Love You.

It's been an unbelievable few days for me and probably the whole family. I do remember walleye fishing out at Shana's, and I pulled in 2 keepers, and Mark didn't get a thing! Before Mark passed, I prayed he would go quickly and as painlessly as possible. God answered my prayer! Good bye Mark. You'll always be loved and missed.

My dear sweet brother. Forever my protector, forever in my heart. Give mom and dad a hug for me and see if Randy wants to learn how to jig too. I love you.

I am deeply saddened by your passing.
My old photos have faded but the memories have not. I have fond memories of Mudville, fishing, hunting and Chevys. There was never a time you didn't provide me with a hot car and was always amazed what you could do with a 350! The hunting skills you instilled in me have made my experiences very beneficial and enjoyable.
Your daughter has been a blessing and I thank you for that.
I pray your passing was gentle.

Yes, Mark is gone. His special talents will be missed. Especially
by me who doesn't know a wheel bearing from a load-bearing wall. But
think of where he is now. It's a place where walleyes are always
hungry and are never less than 20" long. A place where turkeys
always appear just after sunrise. A place where "earn a buck"
doesn't exist and 24" spreads are considered average. A place where
jacks or better, trips to win goes on for hours and the chips never
run out. It's a place of grandparents, parents and special friends
who have traveled the path before him. He's happy now. He's free of
pain and the burdens of life. And he's showing God how to jig for
crappies.

Who knew it would be our last pontoon boat ride? Not one of us, and certainly not the DNR lady that spotted us through her gun scope that day. We will never forget! Thanks for the memories, Mark. I'll miss you always, and look for you in the next sunset on the Lake.
