Mark retired from E.D. Smith in Winona after 43 years service and will be missed by the many friends he made there. At Mark’s request, there will be no funeral service and cremation has taken place. A Remembrance Gathering will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
