He will be missed."

"I'm saddened to hear of your loss. Mark was one of my bosses at Arena Auction Auction back in the early 90's and although I only worked there for a short time, his persona still sticks with me. What a fun loving, genuine guy, full of energy, ambition, and really caring. One of the memories that really stands out to me was when a friend of mine who was not planning to go to our senior prom told Mark about it, he absolutely couldn't let her get away with missing that memory, so at the very last minute he made sure she didn't make that mistake and sent a limo to pick her up and take her. I was her best friend and I didn't even know it was happening...all of a sudden she appeared at prom, like Cinderella. It was a wonderful gift. We had lots of fun at the auction and Mark was a truly great boss and a great human being. May you find as much comfort as possible in your memories. God Bless."
