Mark and I were Great Friends in the Navy. Aboard the Uss Constellation (CVA 64)or roaming around in what ever country we were in" we had a great time. I even loaned him my brand new winter coat , when he went on leave home to Wisconsin. Both of us were nicked named "Bear" . We only talked two times many years back . I thought of him and our friendship from time to time . He was always so happy.
I'm sorry for the loss to his family and all those close to him

Mark's Family,

I had Mark in Pharmacy Technician Class in Westminster. He was a great guy, and was always enthusiastic and always had a way of making class interesting, and funny at moments. I remember his great personality. My sympathy and condolences at this difficult time

Mark was my cousin and we had great times as kids; more recently I remember going to the Wisconsin State Fair with both Mark and Dale. What a great night we had and I especially remember being introduced to the State Fair Cream Puffs! The rosy cheeks and smile are an apt memory. Sincere sympathy to Dorothy and Marvin; how sad to say good-bye to a child. Also to Deb, Karla, Paulette and Dale, Mark's children and grandchildren.

I worked with Mark in the GLI Service group, and also when we both relocated to Loveland, CO when the Milwaukee facility closed. We last spoke when he called me to say he was moving back to Wisconsin. I remember having some good times with him in the past, and how excited he seemed when speaking about his new career direction. He was a good person, and will be missed.

I met Mark when GLI came to Hach in 2002. Mark was great for me because I knew nothing about it then. He helped me to get through every day by helping me take it less serious. He made me laugh. The whole world needs to laugh and I thank Mark for bringing more laughter into my life. I remember when they changed the dress code to be business casual and Mark would still come in with tennis shoes and sweat pants, ha ha ha. I'm still laughing Mark. Love ya man. He was a good man Deb.

Mark, I'm still in disbelief that you've left us. I'll miss our phone conversations about just about everything, mostly the Packers. The last 6 years that we re-connected were just awesome. After we last talked on Wednesday I realized there were some things I wanted to tell you, but I'll wait till later.
I Love You Cuz.

To Marks family I hadnt seen Mark in many years. I went to South with him and he was in my wedding party when I married my ex Bob. I will always remember the laughs I had with him, and these past few years found him on Facebook and chatted from time to time, he was so excited he was coming back to the Milwaukee area. My prayers are with you at this time.
