He volunteered for several years as a little league baseball scorekeeper and assistant coach.

Shocked and saddened hearing of Mark´s passing. He was gracious, easy to be with, and an excellent conversationalist. I recall fondly the informed and often spirited pro football discussions between my father and Mark, focusing on the Bears & Packers. We looked forward to fishing. We will miss him, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Words cannot express the appreciation we hold for Mark & Sally for the kindnesses extended over the years to my folks Jim and Peg. Godspeed Mark. Marty Morrissey
