Sorry to hear of Mark's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

Our deepest sympathies on Marks passing. We worked together at Rogers Markets and had so much fun. There will never be another boss who can dress up like Fred Flinstone and actually look like him. So glad I got a chance to see him and Kim at Northrop Bazaar last year. Prayers to the family and friends and especially Kim and his daughters at this time. Cherish the memories of what a great guy Mark was. Chris mentioned to me that he and Mark went to elementary school together.
