Mark was very bright and a legal scholar. I had the privilege of being associated in the practice of law for 9 years and learned so much. He was quietly effective and was a person of integrity. I will miss his steady consul as will his many clients. Bill Crane

What a remarkable man
He came into our Bar Drifters Inn in Saginaw Mi often for lunch. My husband Ron and Mark became good friends. Mark came to Ron's funeral in January 2020. He will be missed and he was a part of our Drifters memories.

It was such a pleasure to get to know this man who had so many achievements in his life. We enjoyed the interesting or fun articles and short stories he always shared. A life of service has moved on and we are comforted knowing he is in Heaven. Our condolences to his family and dearest friends.

Before i had heard this sad news, i had recently reflected on my time working with Mark so many years ago. He was a quiet, gentle, kind man and I only have the fondest memories of him. It was a blessing to have known him.
