Mark was very outgoing and involved in his children's school, he was on the board and he was very involved in every school function, when he asked ,How are you it was not out of politeness but because he truly cared,he left the world a better place and I'm a better person for knowing him.

Diane & Family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the tragic loss of your husband and father Mark. Mark's mother Jeannie was one of my best friends and Mark and his brothers John & Eddie and sister Gail grew up a few doors away from us on "B" Street in Girardville. Mark was a wonderful child and from what Ive been reading, grew into a wonderful man. Take heart in knowing that he's in a far better place and at peace. I'll be praying for you and your family that you can also find strength and peace. Sincerely, Elizabeth

Dear Diane and Family,
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you at such a tragic and difficult time. We have so many fond memories of Mark and he will be so missed. Mark was more than a friend to us he was family. We still can hear him calling asking if he could bring our son Ronnie down to your place for a weekend, and our son enjoyed his visits so much with you both. Laurie Ann always considered Mark as a second Father as well as Ronnie always has too. Our prayers go out to everyone who has been affected by such a devastating loss.
