So sad to learn of Mark's passing. He was my Sales Manager at Lanier 3M in West Palm Beach, Florida back in the early 1980's. I learned so much from Mark. He was a kind and generous leader of men. And he made many of us very successful by teaching us skills we still utilize over 30 years later. Mark was a blessing in my life then and he still impacts me today. My condolences go out to his family and friends. May God send his Holy Spirit to comfort you all.

Mark was a funny man. We often laughed the time he took the wrong horse out to manooka. Him and flash were a great team and mark was loved by every one at the barn. God has gained a great Angel , just sad its so soon.

I met Mark in 1978 when I was a tutor for his special education class at Reed Middle School in Hubbard. We became instant friends. He had a heart of gold and a great sense of humor. I'll always remember him with great fondness. May his family be provided strength in this painful time, and be comforted by his love.

So Sorry to hear about Mark passing away. I grew up with Mark and Tony on Princeton Ave in Hubbard. I have many fond memories of playing and hanging around with Mark and Tony. I loved watching him play football at Hubbard and Mount Union. He will be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you Mark and Rest in Peace.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
