We have known Mark and his family for over 42years.
Our daughter, Margo grew up with his daughters, and niece Karli.
I was his 10th customer at Lawn Tech since 1983, and we are still customers of his great company.
Despite his years of sickness and struggle; he always had a smile on his face when he stopped by to talk.
He will be truly missed by all, and heartfelt condolences to his wife and family.
God Bless You Mark!
