Charles Botos Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mark is survived by his sisters: Dorothy (Bill) Mechtenberg, Jayne Kolterman, Ginger (Jim) Nelson, the kids: Lisa, Craig, Mark, Leslie, Chris, and Kerry, the grandkids and great-grandkids, nieces and nephews, many cousins, Cam, the Kierscht family, and lots of good friends from his farming and trucking days.
Mark was preceded in death by his stillborn son Trenton Mark, his parents Tresse and Charlie, his niece Trish, his brother-in-law Brian, his step-son Jay, and his beloved wife Alice.
Mark's family appreciates the wonderful care provided by St. Luke's Hospital and St. Luke's Hospice House. Mark did not want a service or formal memorial, so his family suggests simply getting together with loved ones and sharing stories of Bodie.

We will miss Mark a great deal. He was a wonderful friend to George and we enjoyed his visits. He loved his bike!

June 12th was a sad for me. Definitely going to miss our Saturday morning phone calls. Not sure we solved any worldly problems, but we gave it a go. So much cheaper than a therapist. So many memories to remember. Rest in peace Chuck. Steve aka Snag
