Mark was my best friend during his Texas years!
We worked together for 4 years and he left a lasting impression on me as a die hard family man. There was nothing he wouldn't do for his family.
Even though he no longer with us - he will live on in my heart for ever!
The good lord received a great men back into his flock!
Rest in piece 'Bubba"!
