My condolences goes out to your family sorry for your loss. I didn't really know Mark James. I have only been at Atlantic tool and Die for 3 years. He always has time to stop and talk to me. And he would always try to encourage me with help. He was very nice and kind. He always tried his best to come up with solutions to help with stuff that I talked to him about.

I knew Mark only by phone and through email as we were a supplier of boxes for him. I could tell instantly what a kind soul he was, always thoughtful.
We at the Cleveland Welch Packaging facility share our deepest sympathy with his family and friends. I will miss him.

I worked with Mark at ATD. Mark was such a kind and happy person. Always had time to answer questions. Such a gentle soul.
God bless his family and friends.
