Mark was one of the most talented and professional craftsmen ever. Mark was creative when confronted with challenging projects, which he tackled with amazing and beautiful results. I can honestly say, Mark was a genius. I will miss his fun and witty remarks on many discussion topics we had. I learned so much from Mark and will miss his twinkling eyes. We miss you so much Mark!

Mark was a personality to be remembered. He was a friend who would do anything for you but was demanding in the definition and traits of that friendship. I will miss him terribly as he was an incredible friend to me. I hope his heaven is one big golf course in a casino!
