Mark was my baby brother. He was 11 years younger than me and I loved him with all my heart. I remember getting letters from him when I was away in the service, letters written as only a 10 yr old could. As adults we spoke on the phone nearly every day. We went on fishing trips together, played gold together and shared thousands of laughs and good times. Mark had a great sense of humor and could turn most anything into something funny. Mark was a good son, brother, husband, father and friend. He was fiercely loyal to his family and his friends and he had more friends than anyone I have ever known. I will miss him for the rest of my days.

Holly and family; I'm so sorry to learn of your father's death. If he is anything like you he must have been a wonderful person. May he rest in peace and may his memory be eternal before God.

I enjoyed my time working with Mark at TCI/TKR. He was a great engineer. His attention to detail and quality was always job one. His sense of humor made the tough and long days bearable. I will never forget a private joke we had about "burying the fiber with a spoon". He was a quality man and will be missed by all that knew him.

I don't know what life is going to be like without you here. We've never been apart for very long. i will miss the phone calls for the answers to useless trivia questions and the coversations about UofL sports.
There's going to be a great big hole in my life from now on but I will try to make the best of it.
I have a lot of great memories of our life as kids through adulthood and I will cherish every one. Our sons I'm sure will continue where we left off
Say Hi! to Mom and Dad and all of our other family members that have gone before.
I guess I've got the brain all to my self now.
Your best friend Murph.
