Virginia and Scarlett I am so sorry
to hear of this. My thoughts and
prayers are with you all!
My friendship with Mark began the first time Marty and I were at the
Old Homestead shortly after Marty purchased that pleasant spot at
237 Wash. Coll. Sta. Rd.
Yes, we stood, sat, walked around, while the entire conversanton was
a full-blown history lesson with plenty of lore thrown-in! And we
were all ears!
It was nice to feel that you were family, with this fellow.
I consider it a privilege to have known him. I will miss him,
May the joy and selflessness of his soul be returned to him ten_fold.
The friends, new and old, he meets out there, will soon hear new
history lessons and a bit off lore!
God bless you Mark!

To Mark's family, Mark came over and introduced himself when I
bought his grand fathers house. He was always ready to lend a
helping hand to me and anyone else that needed help they didn't
have to ask he would be there. He will be greatly missed by all. In the
short time we knew each another I felt like i had known Mark all my
life. Rest in peace

We are so sorry for your loss and hope that the
happy memories carry you through this difficult
time. My brothers and I spent a lot of years next
door to Mark as he was growing up and as a young
teenager. Unfortunately, we were out of touch with
him for many years but his death has brought back
old memories of happy, carefree times.
I guess I have known Mark since he was a small
child. He also worked at Paty Lumber Co for a
while. Gin and Scarlet you are in my thoughts and
prayers during this time of sadness..
Gin I am really sorry to hear of your loss. Please
know I am thinking of you and love you.
