I would like to express my sincere condolences to Mark's Family and Friends.  Mark became almost an instant friend when I worked as a replacement Fire Technician at Necedah Ranger Station.  His snickerish grin , his great knowledge of Forest Fire Fighting technique and equipment, the great jokes he told and much more.  Mark definitely was liked by many. Whenever we had Fire Training I was always looking forward to rekindling our friendship.  Mark will be greatly missed.

This makes me very sad to lose another fellow classmate of "69". Mark always had that perfect smile and great attitude. We're very sorry for your loss.

Hard to think we lost Mark.  Always looked forward to running into him in Boscobel or a class reunion or wedding, anywhere you ran into Mark there would be stories and laughs.  My thoughts go out to Kathy and the family as well as his sister's and in-laws. We have lost a good friend.

Dad,

I miss you so incredibly much; your smiles, laughs, and jokes.  I still can’t believe you are gone.  You were taken much too soon, we had so many things to do together and I so much to learn.  With every passing day I discover a little more about your life and the man I call dad.  Memories of you will be forever etched in our hearts.  Until we meet again.

Love always
Justin

So very sorry for the passing of Mark.  I met Mark when I filled in at the Necedah Ranger Station for a spring fire season and then the following year as a mentor for new technicians.  Worked on several different forest fires with Mark and greatly respected his knowledge and experience.  Absolutely loved meeting up with Mark at training sessions and conventions.  The socializing hours were the best!!

My deepest sympathies go out to you Kathy  and your families.
I also am a 1969 classmate that has great memories of Mark in High School, and our class reunions. Mark always had that smile that would make you feel welcome and would say hi as soon as he saw you.
May your memories help comfort you all during this difficult time.

God bless you and your families,

Eileen (MAAG) Durand

Kathy and family, my heart goes out to you.  Not only was Mark a fellow classmate, but a neighbor for many years while I was growing up.  
We all hope to live a long life, but we never really know.  May your many happy memories sooth you.
