I first met Mark in the 7th grade at Lincoln Jr. High School and we were friends all of our lives. He was truly a gifted athlete who excelled at all sports. A much admired High school athlete by his class members. He was opiniated and admired the radio talk show host Russ Limbaugh. He would freely give you his opinion on the world problems and how to solve them. I always respected Mark and his opinions and we sometimes disagreed. But, deep in his heart his intentions were good and he loved his family. He was a good person and I am glad he was my friend. The last time I saw Mark was at the 50 year high school class reunion. We left for our winter home in Naples, Florida shortly after the reunion. So long Mark. And you’ll be the first to race through the gates of heaven onto eternal life. We will miss seeing you at all of the church festivals.

My condolences to his family and friends, — esp Jackie. I was in Mexico at the time and just got back. It was always a pleasure to run into Mark or as they refered to him on the “Kenosha Today” show — Father Marcus. A SOLID guy. You knew whatever he said was as true as he seen it. A pleasure to know someone like that. They seem to be getting more scarce … as time goes by. Capt. Mike
