If anyone knew Mark they knew how meticulous he was about his yard. Every piece of grass cut perfectly and not a weed on sight. And snow? He had the cleanest driveway on the block. As a neighbor, he was the best. No one entered the street without him knowing. He was a great friend and neighbor. Always there for you when you needed help. Always willing to stop and chat. Mark, you´ll be missed. Eileen, Jimmy, Katie, and Chris our thoughts are with you. We love you.
