Mark accomplished many things in his life, but his greatest accomplishment was his family. After almost 50 years together he cherished his love for Diane. From their honeymoon in the Dell’s to making a lifetime of memories on Montery Dr. Him and Sara had a father/daughter relationship like no other. Their bond was unbreakable and undeniably the best of it’s kind. But no offense to Sara, his bond with his grandkids was much greatest. He was so very proud to be their papa and enjoyed every second with them. He will truly be missed by so many people.
