      Thank you Joni, you were a great friend to Mark and thank you for helping with his cats. ☺️

  2. As a long-time patient of Urology Associates, I had the pleasure of seeing and speaking to Mark nearly every visit to their office since 1989. His friendly smiling face was always such a delight to see. He will be missed.

    I will always remember the gentleness and approachability of Mark. No matter where we had our family gatherings he was always a genuine and engaging guy who was quick to share in a joke or tell stories about his fur babies. He was proud of his job and we enjoyed talking to him about his different work routines. I will also always remember when he unselfishly helped me on some my housing maintenance work that i could not accomplish when i was not feeling well. He put on some work clothes, completed the tasks, and then went back to being on vacation and crushing buffalo wings on the deck.

    Rest easy Mark,
    Scott and TR

    I was proud to help care for Mark and be his surgeon. He was such a great person, and his kindness and bravery were two of his greatest traits. Anna, I know he is with His father and is smiling down on us. I also know he will be missed by all who knew him, and he will be remembered often. My sincere condolences to you, Machelle and your entire family. God Bless you.
