Tributes
"Sending kindness for all from the west side Purvis Olsen Family. So many stories I could share of growing up with each person in the Allen Family. Mark had a quiet personality. With eyes that twinkled each time he smiled. From the time he was a kid until his passing. Always was up for a great conversation. He loved his family. He loved his siblings. We always stopped at his house in Janesville, just to say hello. I know for a fact ?we? West Side kids and parents were the best of best in life. Lucky for us we had Mark in our lives. "
"Dear Family & Friends Got to know Mark when we both lived in Edgerton, eventually riding to work together while working at Simmons in the early 80's. I moved to NC for personal reasons, Mark eventually moving to NC to work. Sorry we never did meet up again, always enjoyed being around him, such a great smile!! I know he'll be missed, and am so saddened to learn of his passing. God Bless Priscilla Collette (Pee Wee)"
