Jackie,
I remember Mark during our spring track work outs at Piscataway High. He was working on the shot put and I was trying, of all thing, the shot put! Pretty funn for a distance runner:). Mark asked me if I would like to jump 6 feet and promptly threw me over the bar into the pit! I remember him working with Steven after dinner at the football field near your home in Salisbury on Stevens kicking. Sam and I came for a visit and he was such an amazing father! So dedicated to his family, so inspirational in passing on his love for the game.

I grew up with Mark on Mitchell Avenue. I remember summer days tossing the football around in the street with him. He always was easy to kid with and had a great laugh. My condolences go out to his wife and son...his brothers Jeff and Scott

Dear Jackie and family, my condolences to you and your family on Mark's passing. I was a classmate of Mark's two years ahead in 1971 and remember him from school.

My relationship with Mark spans decades from our growing up years on Mitchell Ave. in Piscataway, but I didn't get to really know him until he married by dear friend, Jackie. Living in North Carolina, I didn't get to see Mark, Jackie and the kids as often as I would have liked, but whenever we did get together it was always good times, and I had grown to have so much admiration and respect for Mark as a wonderful family man and just an outstanding human being. A big man with a big heart, but humble and always a gentleman. His love and devotion to his family knew no ends. It is with great sadness that I write this, and heartfelt sympathy to all of the Meseroll family and the many friends who are and will continue to experience his loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, but surely we were blessed to have had Mark as a part of our lives!

Jackie and Steven, so sorry to hear about Mark. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these times.
I first met Mark when he was Quality Manager at Federal Bronze and I had quality issues with some of their products. He came into the office, ducked to get through the doorway, and said to me, "I understand you have a quality problem", me being a tall 5'6" replied, "Nothing that we can't resolve". We became friends from that moment on.
