Good cousin, have very fond memories as child when he’d come to camp in Romney for deer season. Was always kind and looked out for my brother and I when we’d go out there. My prayers go out to you Mark and to your family. Heaven gained a true Angel….. May God Bless you all.

Thoughts and prayers for all of you. We all have so many memories of good times Mark always made jokes and made us laugh. My one memory is when uncle Oscar told him he couldn’t go skating until he ate oyster. It took lots of ketchup but he finally did it. I felt so bad for him. We love you RIP.
