Mark W. Tranter

Witness to Mark's lovable personality: the 20+ people from Cargo and Airport who were there to pay their respect to this gentle soul: Darrell K, Blake C, Doug K, Les S, Brian C, Jamie L, Ray R, David C, Andrew H, Hector M, Lou T, Glen M, Frank G, Johnny L, Steve S, Shaun B, Ken K, Joe B and Ted G. Our prayers to all his family. He will be missed very much and never forgotten. Rest in Peace, friend...
(sorry if I missed some co-workers...)

It was a beautiful spring evening and the Mystery Beers were squaring off at Cedardale Baseball Field. I parked and trotted out onto the field to take up my position in the outfield. Mark suggested I not park there as balls sometimes went over there. As I was already on the field, I just left the car there. It was the 3rd inning, Beers down by a couple, Tranter up to bat. Here comes the pitch, whack goes Mark's bat - he was a pull-hitter - he was bit more left than usual and on that occasion that ball was a line drive right into the windshield of my car. Such was the indelible impact Mark had on my life. I will always remember Mark as a loyal, solid & generous friend and an amazing father and husband. A bright light has gone out. My thoughts and prayers are with Linda & his beautiful family. With love, Don Konantz

Nothing but good memories from childhood swimming competitively with Mark. Big smile and great laughs. A leader to the younger kids and always a solid team member when I swam up an age group. Go well Mark, good memories.

Thanks for over 30 years of friendship. We will miss you dear friend :( Love & hugs to your whole family. Valerie, Phil, Jacqueline & Scott

Always remembered and never forgotten. Always a pleasure working amd having a good laugh with you. Cheers Mark. Smitty

RIP bro, you were one of a kind. I had the pleasure of working with Mark for 25 years, many on my crew at Canadian Airlines Cargo. Condolences to his family, and my thoughts and prayers are with you. See you at the lake for a few beers and hockey talk my friend....
