We are deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Wilder's passing. He was not just a guest at our hotel; he was truly family to us. His warm presence, kind spirit, funny jokes and loyalty left a lasting impression on our hearts and our team. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time. May he rest in peace, knowing how much he was cherished by his extended family here.

Missing Mark most first thing in the mornings when I get to work.  He always said "Good Morning" and he would follow it up with a positive word or two to get the day started ... and it was typically something that made me laugh and start the work day with a smile.  He always took time to answer my questions and explain things in a way that helped me not only understand, but helped me learn.  I loved to hear about his weekends at home and how he was already planning the next weekend with his family, of course.   I am so very sorry for your loss and hope that you all find strength in each other during this difficult time.

I am still in shock over how sudden we lost Mark.  We were supposed to meet at the Atlanta airport that morning..  We worked hard together and traveled the country. We sacrificed a lot of time away from home with our own families, but became a second family on the road over the past 15 years and had a lot of laughs together.  It won’t be the same without you Mark. Your friendship and work knowledge cannot be replaced.  We will move forward because we have to, but you will always be a bright spot in my memories. 
My condolences and prayers for your family. 
Sincerely, 
Rich Lott

I was very upset to hear of Mark's passing. Even though I have only been sitting next to him since August, he helped me so much in that short amount of time.  I knew nothing about corrugated boxes before I started here but he taught and guided me along my way.  New hires would say how did you do it and I would say I had a MYMARK.  Making a trade name of his teaching.  I will miss all of the stories about home, his wife, and his grandchildren. I will miss guessing what he is eating at 10:30 in the morning for lunch since he got here so early.  I will miss the little things like how he called cheese puffs cheese poofs.  Mark was so caring and kind. He would wait in the morning after he had a break outside to hold the door open when we got here. It is mighty quiet on the other side of the cubby.  It's especially quiet without his banter to our designer Ed.  Mark had the best food suggestions as he had stayed in Delaware while at work and shared the best cuisines he had tried.   I will have to go to the Sugar Factory now and try one of their concoctions just like the picture he had shown me of his wife and himself.  Mark was one of a kind and will be missed dearly. My condolences go out to his wife, family, and friends in Ohio plus everyone that met him in his travels.
