Mark was a true friend. It was an honor to work with him and learn from him. His knowledge and willingness to share/teach was second to none. Time spent away from work in the outdoors was always a pleasure for him. He will be deeply missed and loved forever! Thoughts and prayers for his family in this difficult time…
