I am very sorry for your loss. I just heard today from a mutual friend that we worked with at the Suncor Pipeline project in Colorado. I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Mark for three years. He is a true gentleman.

I am very sorry for your loss. I was not friends with Mark at Bellingham High School, but I did have interactions with him through his brother Joe. The posted picture that is on this page is exactly how I remember him. Always happy and a really nice guy. May he rest in peace.
