I am going to miss you my friend. I enjoyed the many conversations about hockey as well as the many jabs back and forth about the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry. At first you were a valued customer but you became a friend who I respected. You have made me a better customer service person but I have also learned how to be a better person through your charitable endeavors.
My condolences and sympathies to Alexi.

I knew Mark, but not as much as I continue to learn about his life. Reading further I wish I talked to him longer , asked more questions. He shared his love for his daughter always! He snuck in his “like” for hockey sometimes lol. I am honored to have met him!

I still can’t believe he is gone from my life. I will cherish the memories of our times together, the laughs we shared, the hard work we did for others, and for the many things Mark brought to my life. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Please know that the entire family, as well as his friends and acquaintances, are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

I know Mark for few years through moving business. He was such a sweet person, knowledgeable, knows lot of culture and make you feel your friend in your first meeting with him. He was very family oriented person along with deep involvement in his work. I didn’t know how he was doing so many things in one life, I guess he know that he had less time so he did so much in his life that one can only imagine. I am still in shock and cannot believe that I will never hear from him on emails or calls. I pray to God for his family, friend to go through this such a difficult time. May you rest in peace Mark. You will be in our hearts forever.
