Add My Condolences

I remember meeting Mark back in 1980 or so. We went on a number of great skiing trips together. I remember him buying that beat-up Porsche 914 and having one of the first small Jeep pickups. - He was always so upbeat and fun. - And loved it when he and Jeff came together - they had such a great relationship. - Mark will be missed, but he will keep an eye on the antique market from above. - Rest in Peace, my friend.

I have not seen Mark since our high school days. We were both drummers in marching band and enjoyed our solid connections in band. He was always a good friend to me, caring and kind. I’m sure he will be missed

Haven't seen Mark in years but partied with him often back in the 70's and 80's. Much fun to be around. Did know he wasn't well but now at peace. God Bless
