The man, the myth, the legend! The mold was broken after the good Lord made Mark. He cared and loved more than most and made a substantial difference in this world. I am proud to call him my cousin and friend. Go fly amongst the stars and rest in peace! We will all miss your smile and sense of humor so much. A great man, husband, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend to so many. Our hearts are heavy! You will be truly missed and never forgotten!
