He will be missed. I worked with Mark for about 12 years and he was a great boss and co-workers. We lost a good person and Heaven gained an angel. We would share story of our kids through there high school and college years. We used to say we should write a book.
I worked for Mark for 7 years. I really enjoyed our time working together. He was funny and took care of his people- sad news. He will be missed
So sorry for your loss, Jacob. Sending love to you and your family during this difficult time.
Jake and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can do to help. please just let us know. Bill and Susan Shields
I wanted to add my name to this memorial, and acknowledge, as a very long time member of the Vienna Choral Society, how much Mark meant to many of us who knew him through that connection. Helping all of us to give back to the community was how I thought of him. He is singing with the best choir now. May his voice blend beautifully with the angels.

Mark was truly the salt of the Earth and he is greatly missed. He was a mentor to me in my career, a friend, and a great fellow member of the Vienna Choral Society. He always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor, a nice bass voice, deep involvement in the chorus, and a kind and considerate way of being. He was a great man, and his contributions and spirit will be remembered.
