  • Dear Tonya:
    Having heard of your beloved husband’s passing – I wanted to send my heartful condolences to you and your family.
    The lifting of one’s sorry is the belief that your husband is now out of pain and in the loving arms of Jesus.
    In that knowledge, we take comfort.
    Met through the Pool Family – and felt an immediate connection.
    God Bless You and Yours at this difficult time.

  • Sorry to hear about your loss and Mark’s passing from his earthy presence. I worked with Mark at Haskell Labs back when I joined the company. I found him to be a dedicated and intelligent supporter and executor of Safety Health and Environmental. Together with Norm Henry, Joe V and Mark we had a great work collaborative team atmosphere in a time when those ” words and actions” were not common.
    Mark added to my good early memories of my time with DuPont ( I have now completed my 35th year)
