i just found out today that Mark has passed.  I just couldn't believe it.  Mark and I started in Kindergarten together, the one sister I knew Joanie was an amazing person,  I am sure she still is.  Mark,  I will always remember you.  I am sad.   God bless to the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark periodically over the last few years and he will be sorely missed. Our conversations were mainly about work; however, I was aware of his passion to cook for his family. On one of the last projects we worked on together, I was made aware of a few of his other hobbies. He spoke freely about the professional  dancing lessons he’d enjoyed with his wife and I was really looking forward to talking to him more about knife and axe throwing. My condolences to his family. God Bless!

Mark, A.K.A. Airgardo, or Gordo, what a guy;  a Firefighter extraordinaire,  Bailiff, Deputy Sheriff,  Sargent in the Air National Guard,  Public Safety Officer at the Freson  Airport, a Knight of the round table, a mentor, a friend, a gourmet cook, a man with a rapier like wit coupled with a mischievous smile that could deliver a joke at any occasion guaranteed to make you smile if not laugh out loud; even though you know it is not the appropriate time and/ or place.   You did what every real man should do, left this world a better place than you found it. Thank you for being my go to firefighter when I was in over my head at the Airport.  Behind that sarcastic smirk of yours is all class. I know your family is hurting more than I am and their tears will flow for a long time to come. I had to go get a towel just so I could finish typing this. We will meet again Mark, and I'll buy the first beer, that is if you teach me a new limerick.  I am keeping some of your jokes alive being carful not to get myself in trouble over any sexual harassment issues. I guess I'm not quite as manly as you.  Love you Mark, my prayers for you and your family.                                                                             

Taken much too soon.  A friend, colleague and a good instructor for our academy "firefighting" module.
And the man who taught me the meaning of "bohica." Those were the days my friend.  RIP buddy and may Perpetual Light shine upon you.
