Ms.Laura and Ms.Katie, Over these past few years had the opportunity to get to know Mark via the PPC conferences. A good man who always had a proud & beaming smile as he shared stories of you all. He will be missed, and keeping you all in our thoughts & prayers.

Laura and Katie: I never did meet you, but was a close colleague of Mark's. Our utmost condolences in your loss. May our hearts and prayers be with you. I can tell you that Mark's Charisma and spirit were beyond compare. Mark was always congenial, kind and spoke highly, and with admiration of you both. There was always much to do and his focus and intensity was always incredible all the while being a true gentleman. My wife Karen has met Mark as we traveled to the plant over the years. We had a tradition of spending time together in advance of our business trips in building a meaningful and lasting working relationship. It is with utter sadness and dismay we write these words and will always live on cherishing dearly the times we had together. Thank you for letting us share the times we did with such a great man!

A fun loving, spirited guy who we will miss a lot! If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact us. Love you two!

Laura and Katie there are no words that will comfort you right now. Time heals all. Mark was such a wonderful person and his spirit will guide you and will be with you. He loved life and enjoyed it. I know you will both continue loving life and enjoying it as he would want. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Totally in shock but Laura and Katie our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although it had been awhile since we saw Mark & Laura we will always cherish the great times we had with you guys at the Oil Men's Christmas Parties. Mark and I were colleagues for many years and I will always remember all the great talks and the few cocktails that we had together. No words can describe losing Mark so soon only that this may be the end for Mark here but only the beginning for Mark up there! God Bless.

Ten years ago or so, I was brought into a great group of guys for golf outings/poker tournaments,golf league,etc. A great group with guys that go by names like "chicken" "Bernie", "goob", "gramps" and of course "weezy." Weezy was one of the first guys to welcome me to the group, befriend me. I think we bonded over our love/hate relationship with the game of golf. Laura and Katie I have never got to meet you but you have my sincere condolences at this difficult time. I feel lucky to have been able to meet and get to know Mark just a little bit. RIP Weezy.
