I will never forget Mark from his time in the lab and on the street. Many joke between us and on each other. I am proud to have worked with him and considered him a friend.

I remember Mark from my football days at Glenville State. Mark was a big, strong, hard nosed guy in appearance. His heart was gentle as a Lamb. We all loved and respected Mark. I know he will be missed greatly in his community where he served the people. I will see him in Heaven!
