What can I say about this sweet, childhood friend? My heart is broken, and I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. We grew up together in the tiny hamlet of North Bay, on the north shore of the lake we loved so very much. Even ice and snow couldn't keep us from our lake adventures, and close calls. God Bless You Mark on your journey home. RIP dear brother.

Mark was a few years younger, but we both grew up in North Bay. Mark always had a sparkle and I am not surprised to learn of his accomplishments such as Town of Vienna Supervisor. Mark often joined in our sandlot football and baseball games on the field of the school. I'll remember Mark on those teams with Jimmy Moore as QB... we were brave, young, and fearless. RIP, Mark.
