I haven't seen Mark for a long time, but I miss him. I remember our trying to defend the honor of Home Room 117 in junior high intramurals, being on the Fort Vancouver basketball team together, his great smile, and cool letterman's jacket. Condolences to his family, and especially to you, Dennis.

Mark was my boss for 6 years at Park N Sell in Woodinville. He was one of the nicest men I have ever worked for. I can still smell the Thai Noodles he used to have in the office.
He will be missed.
