Mark will be missed by all who knew him. He had a quick wit, a warm smile, and a genuine affection for all. He cared. He could talk to anyone about anything, and he liked to read a lot–about anything. I was on vacation in Montana when Mark passed from this life into his next life. I was unable to attend the visitation and funeral. I apologize to his family for that. As to Mark's family, my prayers are with them for his loss. May God bless you all, always. Mark was one of the very first library employees that I met when I started working at the library in Jan. 1998. Mark will be missed. Mary M Dacar Decatur , IL

I've had a very difficult time putting into words how I feel about Mark's death–and I apologize to Mark's family for taking so long to add my condolences here.I worked at the library with Mark for almost five years, but I thought of Mark as more than just a co-worker. There wasn't a conversation I ever had with Mark that I didn't enjoy, even when we didn't agree. Mark always knew what was really important, and he had a deep affection for others, which was one of the reasons he helped me and my girlfriend Tracey when we moved from downtown into our new home. We couldn't have done it without him.Mark was a good man. Better than most. Goodbye, Mark. Decatur, IL US

Dear Family,I was very sad to hear of Marks passing. Although we have been out of touch for many years I do remember stopping by his house on Main St. to see him, years ago. We were truly the best of friends as young boys. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed by all.Michael Newman Castro Valley, CT US

I am deeply saddened by Mark's passing. Though I only knew him for a very short time, I will always remember his generousity in helping me and Bob Reed move from Prairie to West Center last year. Mark was there for us…as I am sure he was for many whom he knew.To show our "thanks" to Mark, we had him over for a BBQ-where we sat out on the back patio and talked all day-well into the evening–about everything under the sun. I remember him speaking so lovingly about his daughter and afterwards felt as though I knew her through him. You will be missed, Mark. On to that great BBQ in the sky, FRIEND. May you continue to be an inspiration to all of us in your loving memory. Decatur, IL US

I will miss Mark very much. I have worked with him at DPL for ten years. Sometimes he was funny sometimes concerned sometimes he could carry on the best conversations with anyone, but always a fun person to be around. Mark I will miss you stealing my candy from my candy jar even though I made trips out to cracker barrel just to get the candy you loved. I will miss your words of wisdom and I will miss your smile and easy manner. I will miss you telling me how to fix computers: Rest in peace friend with no more pain. Decatur, IL US

I want to express my deepest sympathy to Mark's family. I worked with Mark at DPL for nearly ten years. Mark never lacked for good conversation. He was very proud of his daughter, Amanda. He talked very highly of her. He could always make me laugh when he told me stories about Charlie and his crazy antics.I enjoyed Mark's company and I appreciated his friendship. He will be missed.
