Memories and Condolences

My heart goes out to you Aunt Dody, Roxy, Tiffany, and Matthew. I will always remember Uncle Mark for his sense of humor and sarcasm, his kind heart and his pride in his family and his work.
I left this in the guestbook after the loss of the other Uncle Mark, and I think its also fitting here.
True Measure
How long we live
is not for us to say;
We may have years ahead-
or just a day.
The length of life
is not of our control
But length is not the measure of the soul-
Not length,
But width and depth
define the span,
by which the world
takes measure of a man.
It matters not how long before
we sleep-
But, only how wide our life
how deep.
With much love and sorrow,
Tawnee Graham

To the Tanner Family, please accept Jo and my deepest condolences during this difficult time. Mark was a great boss, mentor and friend. He gave me my first break in the ship repair world. I respect him very much. We, in the ship repair world will miss him very much. Rick Bybee

My first year or so at GDIT Mark was my boss. Thanks for hiring me and giving me a chance to prove that I was the man for the job. Jacksonville, Alabama, Philly and Boston...working for Mark on all those out of town jobs was truly a pleasure...RIP......Keith Dean
