I was truly sorry to hear about Mark's passing.  He was one of the nicest and most honest guys you'd ever know.  I remember in the 6th grade almost the entire class was being punished for talking and playing in the hall.  He and one other student didn't talk, but he and the other student decided to take the punishment with the class.  The teacher asked, "Did you talk?" They both replied, "No."  and they didn't talk.  They rest of us g o t it and they didn't.  I thought that was cool for everybody.  He was cool before that and was really cool after.

I will miss  you my friend, would have dropped everything to pay my repsects one last time. Just read this today. Rest in peace, know that you will be missed. Our prayers will be with your brother, and i know you are in a better place now. You have left a legacy and an impression on my life for sure. God bless you , love you my friend

Mark was the best friend and boss that I could have ever had. I have benefitted so much from his mentorship through the years, and his extensive knowledge and wisdom. Since my father passed at a young age, Mark has in many ways filled a fatherly role in my life. I can't imagine life without our daily chats. He always had a way of making me laugh, and reminding me of the things that are important in life. I miss him so much already. I know he was loved by many, and I'm praying for all who are also feeling his loss.

We lived next door to Mark and Tim for several years. They were the best neighbors anyone could have. Both of them were so nice, respectful, and so very helpful whenever we needed help with anything.  We are so glad to have known Mark….he will be missed.

Our hearts break to hear of Mark’s passing. He was such a nice man. Always laughing and giving you a hard time. We love seeing him come in our office. We were looking forward to seeing him next week in our office.  He was so uplifting and caring.  We met him we he started bringing his mom into our office.   We will miss him dearly but we know he is in a much better place than we are.

I considered Mark one of my closest friends. I've known Mark for at least 30 years. Over that time he's placed me in a number of different career opportunities. As well as help me recruit sales people for a number of different companies I've worked for.
But beyond that Mark and I were friends, we've talked about everything from politics to the stock market to the fact that he loved to go to see Barry Manilow in Las Vegas. Mark and I would meet at least once a year, at the Waste Expo we either grab a lunch or dinner And talk about old times. Frankly I just talked to Mark yesterday afternoon and was totally devastated when his brother sent a text this morning letting me know his passing. I miss Mark. Don't miss our conversations. He was one of the good guys.
