We are really going to miss Mark. He was a great neighbor who was always friendly to everyone. We will miss him stopping by on his walks and helping us with the mechanics :)He made our children feel special and they adore him. It is a great loss. Our hearts go out to Ruth, Beth and Jason who are wonderful people. We are blessed having them as part of our lives. We hope they are able to find peace during this difficult time.

Ruth, Beth and Jason,
Words truely cannot express the sympathy I feel for all of you in the loss of your Husband and Father.
I have been reflecting on many of the memories I have of Mark and they all bring me to laughter. I seriously do not think that there wasn't a moment that we were not together that we didn't laugh for hours. I remember when Mark told me he took mind reading classes, of course I believed it. Ruth remember "Marks Market", and "I don't care if it rains or freezes as long as I have my plastic Jesus". Then there were the hours of playing the Farming Game. Hysterical.
Ruth you and Mark were an adorable couple and so in love. I'll never forget your wedding, when the kids were born and all the joy you brought to each other and every one around you.
Bless all of the memories that Mark left on many hearts.
Love, Jackie

I worked with Mark for 12 years at Bermo-
He helped me enter my career as a toolmaker- teaching me many of the skills I am still using today-
We had many good times and laughs while working on 2nd shift together- He basically took a group of young kids out of tech school and made them into a group of brothers when away from home-
I can still here his many quotes:
"If ya don't hold their hand!" "Why can't we all just get along?" and my favorite of all: "What would you do on the farm?!"
He will always be in my memory as the guy who helped me get started in my career.
THANKS MARK!!
To Ruth and kids- I hope you will soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.
