  • I was saddened to hear of Mark’s passing and my condolences go out to his family. I knew him and his brother Mike from high school and ran into Mark years later working at DelDOT, while he was supervising numerous bridge construction projects in New Castle County.

    Mark was always a professional, just a good guy with a great sense of humor. He will truly be missed.

  • B.J. – You and the boys have our deepest sympathy. When I started the 8th grade, Mark was one of the first people I met after my family moved to Smyrna. He made the transition to a new school easy and we became good friends. We eventually became roommates when we started college at UD and also lived together for a short time off campus. Mark was the best man in my wedding and his loss to me is unimaginable at such a young age. He was a true professional in everything he did and will be sorely missed.

    P.S. – – He was one heck of a drummer and I always thought that he would end up in a big time rock band!

  • BJ,
    We were shocked and saddened by the news. We didn’t know Mark but, knowing you, he must have been a wonderful person. You and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers.
    John and Kathy
