I did something today that I shouldn't have been able to. I know it was you standing there, helping me hold up that ceiling fan, giving me the strength to do the job, and showing me what I needed to do. You're the best brother anyone could have ever wanted. You gave and gave and did without. You conquered adversity from the day you were born and never gave in. Thanks, Mark. You're the greatest! Brenda and I miss you when Friday Night Football starts again.

Hey Mark, now that you're in the great heavenly hardware store in the sky, please have a big reunion with Mr. Tony, Paul, and all of the other guys from South Claiborne! Just doesn't seem that long ago that we were all together stocking shelves... you guys were the BEST co-workers and friends anyone could ever have!
My prayers and thoughts are with you, your family, and all of your many, many friends.

We are so sorry for your loss, last thing Mark said to me was that he will be praying for us. I believe he is doing that in person now, as Keith's results are getting better. I'm sorry we won't be making it to the funeral. Although the chemo is working. Keith is very tired. just know you are in our prayers and if there is anything we can do to help in this difficult time. please let us know. Pauline and Keith Exsterstein "Keith's Auto Repair"

I am saddened to hear of Mark's death. I knew him when his sister Kathy & I were best friends during our teen years. He was a typical little brother - funny and happy, but also an aggravation too! My heartfelt sympathy to all of the family.

Mark was one of those guys who was always a straight shooter and a solid guy. I only knew him from the hardware store, but I considered him a friend. He was always happy and a pleasure to chat with - and he was always nice enough to help me if I needed it. This is a big loss, and I will miss him. I hate for us to lose a good guy like Mark.
