I had the pleasure of having Mark in two of my courses at ACPHS. Mark was a thoughtful and independent thinker. He was set on making the world a better place, and he also made us laugh. What more could we ask for than this? Despite the pain, let us all carry on working and laughing for Mark—it's what he would have wanted. He will be dearly missed.
