Paulette -
I just found out about Mark from Mike today. I am so, so, so sorry to hear this news. It seems like just yesterday that we were neighbors coming over for one of the many BBQ's you had. Mark was always fun, and had a great personality. I was able to see him a couple of times at the bar when I flew in and visited my brother in Lisle.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you from here in AZ. I can still see Mark sitting in his favorite corner of the bar. I will always hold fond memories of Mark, it was a pleasure knowing him may be RIP with his brother now.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) My sincerest condolence.

I am so sorry to hear about Mark When I moved to the area in 2013 to care for my Mom, I happened upon Marks on 66 and Mark was so kind and friendly each time I stopped in Of course I then met Paulette and a friendship formed I have not been able to socialize the last 2 yrs due to Moms declining health and her need for 24/7 care, but have followed Marks life through FB I was so happy when I saw just 2 weeks ago that he was healthy enough to be at a gathering I'm devastated for Paulette and their families that there wasn't a happy ending and I will pray for everyone who knew and loved Mark
