I worked with Mark many years ago at Ho-Chunk. He had a strong working skill set and showed how to do many flooring projects and repairs at the facility. He will be sadly missed.

I worked at Ho Chunk while Mark did. I witnessed his incredible strong work ethic. When he battled his disease, he attacked every day like the mighty warrior that he was. God bless this man. We will all remember.
