It saddens me to hear that Mark passed at such an early age. Mark and I served on the Harlan County. I had the opportunity to hunt with him after we got out of the Navy and we took turns visiting each other from Michigan and Pennsylvania for a few years. Somehow we lost touch with each other. I wish that I hadn't found him like this but God had a better purpose for him and he will be dearly missed.
