Mark Lombardi (my uncle Mark) is a very special person, not just in general, in heart. My brother (Nikolas Patouhas) lived with uncle Mark and my aunt Joy. In fact, I usually cry myself to sleep missing Mark. My brother still lives in that same house with my aunt since he was a little boy. Uncle Mark has been there for me since I was born, but being the middle child, I don't get very Mich attention. He'd always cared about everybody when or how, he did. I have an old video of him when I was in Florida two years ago and I look at that video usually. In fact, I am going to Florida in five days. Thoughts and prayers!

I worked with Mark at the Burton Police Department. A class man. A man of integrity. A Christian. A great sense of humor and a man who always had your back. I miss you so much my friend. I've lost two great men from Burton. Chief Dennis Nichols and Sgt. Mark Lombardi. My tears are endless, but my heart is full of love.
