Your obituary sounds appropriate. Mark was one of a kind and looked great the last I saw him when dining at the kosher cafe in SLP.He was with Bonnie and they were all smiles. He was in my men's group and always was very honest which at the same time made our relationship difficult. Bright, humorous, a strong family man, and dedicated to Judaism. I admired that about him rather than disparaging his religiosity. I am a secular Jew but admired his dedication to The Law. Go in peace Mark. Wherever your spirit has risen, you will have a wry smile and bring goodness to others who journey with you.

A profoundly good and honest man.

My sincere condolences to Mark's family and friends. We never met, and I feel that it is my loss. Such a droll person is not often encountered.

I did not know Mark, but since we will all eventually share his fate, he has shown through his obituary, how to handle this inevitablility with grace and wonderful humor. I hope his memory continues to be a source of celebration for his family.
Thank you, Mark.
