Hey buddy, It is now 2020. I was just listening to music and you popped into my thoughts.  Anyway, Vicky is becoming a good plumber. She is going to be fine. I am keeping an eye on her. Anne and I were talking the other night about Black Angus Steak H
ouse the other night. You worked there for a while. I miss you. I miss your smile and that stupid nose-blowing thing you did with a napkin. Use to crack me up.

Here it is August 13, 2019 and I was thinking of how we are missing some fun times together. Trying to keep Vicky busy but she is doing OK. Puts on a good act. Anyway,  thought I would stop by honk that big nose and let you know everything is as well as can be expected. Will check in again soon. See you soon!

I have had the pleasure and good fortune to have known Mark for 20 yrs.  Our relationship was professional at the beginning in that Mark probably reviewed 60-70% of the projects our company submitted thru Hillsborough County for drainage review.  He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, courteous and thorough.  
Over the years we became friends and would always engage in a good natured discussion, especially during college football season about the Seminoles and the Gators.  He became Mr. 'A',  I was Mr. 'B' and Rick Cabrera is Mr. 'C'.  He had a lot of fun with that as did the rest of us.
Mark was good man whom i will miss but he was one of those people who left the world a better place because of who he was and what he was.
Take Care Mr. A.

Mark and I first met when working out of the old Edgecomb building.  He was a storm water guy and me a tree guy.  I would always joke with him regarding his stormwater role and how important that water was to tree vigor.   He had a sensitivity for the environment which nurtured our relationship and effectiveness for the people of hillsborough county.  

Mark, it was honor working with you as well as experiencing, side by side, our retirement gathering.  Although we never shared a golf game together, I look forward to that opportunity when we meet again.

John

It says to leave a  memory or message. One of my favorite stories, and there were many,  would have to be: Anne and I were at the Arnold's one evening for dinner and a movie. I feel asleep. Well, later I was told to wake up as it was time to go. Anne and I left and on the way home I stopped to buy a pack of cigarettes. As I was paying for them I noticed I had a very pretty set of BRIGHT RED nails. Mark had been very busy while I was sleeping painting my nails. The guy taking my money said, "nice nails". I replied, "Mark, you ass". Rest in peace my dear friend!

God Bless the entire Arnold family at this time.  Some great memories of Mark from both working at the County together as well as working at Novemberfest many years ago.  You will be missed my friend.  Mike Rimoldi
