Mark was an amazingly smart and strong man. Mark’s art outlets included
wood sculpting, painting, carving, drawing and pottery making. Cigars,
scotch, golf, travel, cooking and time on the lake boating were his
downtime pleasures. He was creative and ingenious. He was truly a
renaissance man. Mark was loving, caring, and adored by anyone who met
him. His blue eyes and smile would light up any room. He lived his life the
way he wanted. Mark was a man who cast a long shadow in life and left an
emptiness to fill in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be dearly
missed.
