Mark was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was exceptionally proud of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. He loved holidays and family get-togethers; any chance to spend time with his family was important to him. He loved attending his grandchildren's many sporting events and activities and was not shy about bragging about their accomplishments.

After Mark, aka Good-Time-Charlie, retired, he and Sandy spent their time traveling and camping with friends and family, always making sure there was a band nearby as they loved dancing. Their home was a home with open doors to all family and friends throughout the years, gathering together to share in good food, fun times, and making memories. Even after Sandy's passing, Mark continued to carry on the loving, open home gathering, dancing and fun times. He will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
