I had the pleasure of sharing in Mark’s 77th birthday celebration last January, when I lived and worked at sisters place. We served one of his favorites- blueberry pie, and he had 3 pieces, with another for breakfast. I always enjoyed Mark’s jokes-you never saw them coming. Mark was definitely a man who knew what he wanted, but it was always apparent to me that deep down he wanted to help those around him in the small ways he could, even if it was just helping push in a chair or joining in a game of uno to keep spirits up when we were all quarantined in the house together. I miss him, I am glad to have known him, and the influence he had on my life has impacted me in so many positive ways I can never put into words.
