I grew up in Greenwich and I graduated with Mark in the Bridgeton High School in 1976. In 1977, Mark and I attended Cumberland County College. I would pick him up at his home in Sheppards Mill and we would head in into College. Mark was a real decent fella. It's real sad that he is gone.

Almost 15 years ago, I had the pleasure of being welcomed into the Inspira (SJ Healthcare) family by Mark whom performed my physical. I also happened to be his new manager. We have many great memories and stories to tell and like any family, we have weathered ups and downs together as well. Mark always had a smile on his face, he loved life, and he was always good for a laugh. You sent me my sign that I asked for. Rest easy my friend, you are missed!

I had the pleasure of being Mark´s preceptor when he was right out of nursing school. He was so funny and a lovely man . Special memories that I will always hold on to . My drink he made for me ( a Malibu Barbie ) and endless frozen margaritas at my house in a winter storm . Rest in Eternal Peace my friend

What a whirlwind these last 22 years with Mark have been! We began our nursing journey together in LPN school and started our first nursing jobs together where ironically, we ended up together again these last few years. Your humor, quick wit, and sarcasm will be greatly missed. Thank you for some of the best memories! Rest easy and cheers to you Markie-Mark until we meet again. Have my cocktail ready
