The thing that I remember most about Mark is his kindness and hospitality. Being a single Dad with three small children I would do my best to make plans to celebrate the holidays with their happiness in mind. Two different years Mark had us all join him and Anne at Thanksgiving. We weren't two feet into the door when Mark had already made us so welcome and included.
My daughter Shannon remembers how Mark cherished Timothy. She was in the living room when Timothy was an infant and asked Mark if she could hold him. She remembers how Mark hovered over them so it would have been impossible for Timothy to fall more than an inch or two before he would be back in Marks hands.
