An avid outdoorsman, Mark loved fishing, hunting, and travel. On one of his many fishing expeditions to Alaska, he and his four buddies brought home 400 pounds of fish! He hunted in PA, NY, CO, TX. How perfect to spend his later years in God’s Country where he could fish and hunt in the backyard of his Camp!
Mark and Pat travelled to many national and international locations, a favorite being Australia. Two of his favorite expressions were: “Travel while you can” and “Get Er Done”. And they did!
Mark was a quiet, thoughtful, patient, intelligent gentleman who loved his family and had a deep respect for nature. He will be missed by many. As per Mark’s wishes, there will be no service or visitation. The family will honor Mark privately.
