I have to admit I am so surprised at this. He was our valedictorian and I expected him to do some outstanding things in this world and live a long life. I have wondered what happened to him over the years, so it saddens me that he is no longer with us.Sherri Stonerock
I have known now for some time that Mark had passed away. I am still as shocked as the day I heard this upsetting news. Some of you from the Miami Chapel days know that I had a very big crush on him. One regret that I have to this day is that I didn't get to know him better. He really was a very sincere person with a great head on his shoulders. I'll always remember you Mark.Wendy Hill (Smith)
I'm surprised to hear about Mark, we were at Miami Chapel,and then high school,he was funny and smart he will be missed.Shawn Baldwin
Wow. I had no idea that Mark had passed away. I reconnected with him when he was at Pfizer through one of my friends in the finance department in 1998 and then again when I worked on the Traveler's IPO in 2000/01. He was always a non-pretentious person and seemed genuinely embarassed when I told others on their trading desk that he was the class Valedictorian.If I remember correctly he was a very good soccer player and I always remember him as quietly competitive. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
Take time to reach out to your friends, this is a short ride.

Mark will truly be missed by me. I had heard of his passing shortly after he had died. He was destined to do great things. He had a wonderful personality. I remember during high school he was always teasing me about being second best, even though we were tied for #1 in the class up until our last semester at Patterson. I always new he was smarter than me but the competition kept me on my toes and striving to exceed the bar he had set. Being #2 in the class standing next to him didn't feel less it was an honor. Few knew that he had an incredible memory and rarely took notes in class. I can see him now looking at the board, transfixed, twirling his pencil, never writing down a single word but would always end up getting an "A" on the test. What a guy. Our prayers are with the family.Floyd Ward III
