Tammi and family, where do I start… some twenty years ago Mark came into our lives as an employee to our company, as a matter of fact our first employee. Here was this guy who worked as much as I did. It was no time at all we had bonded and became inseparable. He was my “Right hand Man.” I never doubted that a job wouldn't get done the right way. He always had high expectation of the men that were working with him. As a matter of fact most of them never moved fastest enough for him. He would yell at them to move faster or “Come on Ryan back the truck up” or “get that pipe!” If someone wouldn't get the right stuff Mark would jump out of the excavator and do it himself.
Sure we would argue with each other, we yelled at each other and Mark normally had the last words of “Whatever Chuck!” Mark was not only my “Right hand Man; he was my brother and my Best Friend.” I will forever be grateful to Mark for his friendship, brotherhood and years of services to myself and company. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Mark and miss him but, I know he is with each and everyone of us. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with me.
