When outside activities were on the calendar, Mark enjoyed the summer months fishing and sailing on our island in Northern Canada and golfing in the winter at our home in Hilton Head. Any kind of music was also important to him. He sang with the OSU Men’s Glee Club and led many parishioners through Israel, Greece, and Egypt. For fun it was the coastline of South America and the Caribbean. Of course, six months in Australia was a meaningful time.
Along the way he helped raise three children, Tim, Shelley, and Todd. Father, Mother, and Brother are all gone plus daughter, Shelley who died at age 24 of Leukemia but both sons survived him along with his loving wife, Jenelle, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
