I attended Harry L. Johnson school with Mark. He had a great sense of humor and was a huge Buick fan at an early age. I still remember some of his jokes to this day. God Bless him and his family. Rest in Peace.

Condolences to Tim and Family, Mark was my bestfriend , best man and life time friend. We shared a friendly NY Giants versus the Dallas Cowboys rivalry for years. He loved telling stories of his childhood and all the fun things his dad, Walt did. Mark was and will always be Mr Buick, if there is a Buick in Heaven he is in the drivers seat right now smiling proudly. God Bless you Mark, DIgger!
