Maureen and family – I can only say that we are deeply sorry for the loss of your brother. It is hard to comprehend his passing. I wish we could be there to share your grief & remember the good times. My memories of Mark are all good. The times we played together at your house, the fun we had at school. He always made me smile and was so full of fun and I loved him for that. I have thought of both of you often.
Wilma and Family – I am sorry we never met but I know that you were the one to make Mark happy and am very happy for the love you shared. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. All our love – Jackie & Chris

Maureen and family,
So sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Although it has been years since I have seen him, I have many fond memories of Mark at school, and his “waiting on the highway at 6:15” so I could pick him up to work at the Voyageur. We shared a lot of laughs!
Take comfort in your memories, and know that he will always be in your hearts.

I will always remember Mark running the CUPE Local 441 meetings all those years ago with his friend and union president, Kathryn Farr. He will be missed by all who worked with him….he was always fair and respectful in every issue he dealt with. Deepest condolences to Wilma and all his family.
