I was deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Mark. We worked together for several years at Infinera and he was a joy to be around. We would joke about the neighborhood as I lived on Hoffman Drive in Egypt, just a few houses away from him. Overall, just a really cool dude. Mark, you will be missed but never forgotten. My heart goes out to the entire Walczer family during this difficult time.

To the Walczer family and friends, I had the pleasure of working with Mark at Infinera for several years, he was always there with a smile to lend a helping hand, to borrow tools from and to share in some funny stories. His laughter, joy and smile will be missed by many but never forgotten. My thoughts are with you during this time, may all the memories of him be of comfort to you all. Rest in Peace Mark, okay, I'll say it... J E T S Jets, Jets, Jets! No more ladder jokes, I promise! I choose to remember him like he was in this picture that I took at work, smiling and just being funny. To a great guy I once knew, taken too soon.
