Hi Margaret, It is still so unbelievable that Mark has left us. He also left a big part of himself all around Molbak's. I still think of him everyday, and those thoughts bring a smile to my face. His sense of humor was great and always seemed to lighten up the day. His peace sign earrings will be missed too. I appreciate that Mark was so selfless putting everyone ahead of himself. Can't find that much these days. I am sorry for the hole this leaves in your life. His spirit will be with you always. I am looking forward to the tree planting ceremony.

Margaret I am so sorry for your loss. Mark was such a kind and gentle soul. Mark always said hi and had a humorous comment to make me smile. He will be missed greatly but I am thankful I had the opportunity to know him and see him in February.

Margaret,
May your memories bring you comfort. Memory is a special place in our hearts where we can find comfort in the treasured thoughts of those we hold dear. May it help to know that others care deeply. I have worked with Mark for 27 years. He was very kind and caring. We will miss him. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Mark was like a work dad to me. I was always going to him for advice on the best way to execute visual display projects. He would not only lend his advice, he would get me all set up with everything I needed and stick close by for when I needed help with something. Mark was always going the extra mile for me and the visual team and was such a pleasure to work with. We will miss him greatly.

Mark will be truly missed. He was a very caring soul. While I was caring for my dad during his illness, Mark always checked in with me on on how he was doing and showed a very sincere concern for us. It was a difficult time, but just talking with Mark about it, from time to time, somehow helped to bring my stress level down just a little. So glad to have known and worked with him. My deepest sympathy to Margaret and their family. May your memories bring you smiles as this difficult time passes.

Margaret,
Mark was a great asset to Molbak's and the visual team and to me. He was always so willing to help build something or help give advice on how to build something. All my crazy ideas for props, he helped bring to life! He was definitely a major part of our team! I also appreciated Mark for helping me with sign language when I was teaching it to my baby. He really had his hand in so much of what I do or work on. He was such a sweet person always. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to know him. I hope you will be able to find peace during this difficult time.

Margaret,
Diane and I send our most heartfelt condolences for your loss. Mark was too young for this. After working together on a daily basis for 27 years I miss his presence very much. He was so dedicated, diligent, and talented. The reminders of his work are everywhere I look around Molbak's.
