Carol, my deepest sympathies to you, the whole family, and to all friends of the family. Mark was a special and influential person to me. The things he taught me early in my Air Force career have had life-lasting impacts. I was also blessed with the fact that we were also good friends and were able to share a common love of music. He will be missed and remembered!

our thoughts are with you, Carol. I considered Mark (and you) a mentor. He was warm and funny but I always think of him as so supportive and encouraging. He always made me feel like my contributions to the AF team were important, too. I think he had a way of treating people wth respect and compassion that was special.
