I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mark for almost 20 years at Collins and enjoyed our time working together. He was kind-hearted, always had a smile on his face, and a cheery disposition. It was a pleasure to work with him and to be able to call him a friend, indeed.

I had worked with Mark's parents for several years at Rockwell and had gotten to know Mark and his sisters quite well. Our attraction for each other was our interest in Football- particularly the position of linebacker. I mentored him in this position and he became very proficient playing it in high school years When he moved into Hallmar village I was excited to see/talk with him and to be a friend in this new environment. Mark has also helped many new residence with their moving tasks at the village. Mark always had a smile for me when we would meet.. I will miss seeing him, his smile, and his compassion for others Dave

I knew Mark from my time as a co-op. I sat between him and another PP&C analyst and had many philosophical discussions. Last time I saw him he had just retired. RIP Mark.

Mark was the best! He was always there for his family friends and customers. He had some amazing stories, always had a great sense of humor and always saw everything with an open mind and a caring heart. At work he was always wanting to do his best, find the most efficient way to accomplish a task and make sure that things were done right. I worked with him off and on for 25 years. Some of my best Collins memories include him, he will be greatly missed.

I would like to extend my condolences and prayers to all the family. Mark and I shared 40 plus years of friendship, adventures, and life milestones, that included countless good times! I know Mark was loved and was a great friend to many, and will be missed greatly. I will remember the part he played in my life with a smile. Life is eternal, and his spirit lives on in his children, and the memories of his family, and many friends. Love you Mudd.

I met Mark at Iowa State living on the Baker floor with him and later on in an off campus house with a great group of friends. As a quiet guy from Chicago, I found Mark to be larger than life, always lighting up the room. I was blessed to catch up with him last fall at an Iowa State football game. So many great memories with Mark on my mind these past weeks. Going to miss him.
