Janet and Family,
I was saddened to learn of Mark's passing. He and I shared a lot of good times together during our careers at the Camas Mill. I'll never forget his warm smile, firm handshake, and boisterous laugh. It was always obvious to everyone he worked with that he truly cherished his family. Deepest condolences to all of you at this time of loss and sorrow.

Janet, and family
I was so very saddened to read of the passing of Mark. I knew that he was ill but it is still always a shock to see his face and read of his passing. I often think back to 63rd Avenue gang and all of the fun times we all shared. How times change. I just want to wish you all the best and know that I am thinking of you.
Love and Hugs
