I served with Mark in the Navy on board the USS Batfish SSN 681 and I was with him at the Batfish reunions in Muskogee from 2006-2009. I will surely miss him. God bless his family always.

Mark has been a part of our family for over 20 years. He is my brother Jim's best friend and I know losing him is hurting my brother very much. Birthdays, Christmas, and family gatherings are not going to be the same anymore. Mark was a great guy, he was very generous and was always willing to help. He will be greatly missed.
