I still can recall hanging out with Mark at the arcade/miniature golf course on Keyser Avenue - we were probably 13 or 14 years old at the time. He always made me laugh. My deepest sympathies to his son, siblings, mother and extended family. May your memories comfort you.

I am so sorry to hear about Mark. It's been alot of years since I had seen him. He was fun to be around always made me laugh with his impersonations. I remember when he was crazy over Whitney Houston, He made me a cassette of her music. Bobby, Blaine, and Mark Jr. I am very sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
