  23. Lee Ann and all of Mark’s family, my sincerest condolences for your loss. Mark was a great person and will be missed by many.

    I first met Mark in September 2020. He was a dedicated and valued associate at Metronet. I could always count on him, no mater what the situation was. One of Mark’s joys was mentoring new associates and he was very proud of them as they progressed and succeed in their careers. In talking with some of them recently, I can tell that they truly appreciated Mark’s mentorship and friendship. Mark will be missed by all at Metronet.

    Rest in peace!

  24. LeeAnn we are so limited at times like these to offer any words of solace. Our faith tells us he is in a much better place now, which is a little comfort to those of us who will miss him here on Earth. I didn’t know Mark in adult life, but I could tell at the last class reunion that you were very happy together, and I’m sure you are grateful for the time you had. You have my condolences, and you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

  25. I am so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. It is wonderful that you found each other and had such dear and loving times together. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. I know he will be watching over you and family and will be saving a place for his loved ones next to God.

  26. Quite a few decades have come and gone since we served together, yet I have nothing but fond memories of the the man, the Marine and the friend that you were. Fair winds and following seas, my Brother. Semper Fidelis.
