Dear Mrs. Howard,
I Am So Very Sorry For Your Loss. I Got To Know Mark When He Called On My Neurology Practice In Charleston. He Was One Of The Rare Pharmaceutical Reps That Everyone In The Practice Liked, And Thought Of As A Friend. He And I Shared Interests In Martial Arts, And Star Wars; I Have The Yoda Figure He Gave Me For Christmas One Year On My Desk As I Type This.
After He Moved To Nc, And Then I To Portland, We Texted Each Other And Emailed Occassionally, But He Was Always Impressed That I Remembered His June 1St Birthday.
Mark Was A Very Good Person, Often Sharing How Difficult He Found Dealing With Other People That Were Unkind, Or Unethical. He Stood Out In His Field As One Of The Good Guys. He Will Be Missed By All Who Knew Him.
Best Regards,
Harry Reahl, Md

Peggy, I’Ll Always Remember Mark As A Sweet Boy And Only Wished I Could Have Seen Him When He Was Older And A Successful Young Man. He And Brian Sure Loved Their Guitar Lessons. I Know He Was Your Pride And Joy And Hope God Will Grant You Peace And Strength To Endure Through All Your Sadness And Just Pray For His Guidance. May His Memory Be Eternal And May He Rest In Peace!
God Bless And Love,
