I haven't been in touch with Mark for over 40 years but I went to High School with him. For those of you that didn't know Mark in his High School days, he was a "cool cat" and I have fond memories of our adventures. So sorry for your loss.

Maryann, Brianna & Elgin,
Kirk informed Jill and I this afternoon that he heard about Mark today from someone on Facebook. We are shocked, and just heartbroken to hear of Mark's passing. Mark and you all have been such great neighbors for so many years. I had just wished Mark a Merry Christmas just a few weeks ago across the yard. Mark will be so missed but never forgotten. Maryann please let Jill and I know how we can be of any help. You all are in our prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Mark's death. I played rugby with Mark years ago. Mark ALWAYS had a smile on his face and never had a bad word for anyone. Rest in Peace Mark. Your eternal life is here.

I have a story about Mark that most people don't know, but he was the person who introduced me to rugby! I was sitting at a bar with my friends and Mark was making a delivery. When he was done he sat down next to me and he asked me if I would like to play rugby so I gave him my phone number. It was in the dead of winter so practice didn't start for a couple of months. His call that spring is what changed my life. I ended up playing rugby for 30 + years and most things in my life changed because Mark made that call back to me. I would have not met my wife of 25 years and so many things because he made that call! Cheer to you Mark! God has a plan for you in heaven!
