Academy Class Member
Mark,
I have only known you from being a recruit at the Academy and hiring process, but in that time, you were known to be such a positive influence that everyone could relate to.
Your timely down to earth- sometimes humorous- comments put us all at ease in the times where we could use it so we could relate and learn.
You spoke to everyone with respect and respect is what you got back, not because of your excellent physical stature, but because you were truly a person who deserved it thru your communication style and treating people with dignity.
Thank you for being approachable all that you have taught us, both in the classroom and as a person.
Your students will work for many years and live on in hopes they can be just a good a person as you were and positively influence others as well in their lifetime.
To his family, Thank you for supporting and sharing Mark with us.
The world was and will continue to be a better place with him being on it for 53 years.
God Speed
